Finally got a chance to get wet

[coldwater diver]

I havn't posted for a while because of to much work, my winter depression, or my failing gear in the coldwater. I bought a special cold water reg that could be used in freezing water with low probability of free flows. This was exactly what I needed as almost all of my prior dives I was having problems with the cold. I also have been having to contend with poor visibility due to the fact we have been having storms every week for a while. So my chance was Monday just before the snowstorm. I did 2 tanks with somewhat good visibility. I found a couple of keepers I will post more when I can tomorrow.

1st up is one that was broke when I found it and is in three pieces that I will glue together. Its along way from home I have found strapsides before but not like this one too bad its broken. If anyone has info on it please let me know.

In case you cant read the embossing its JOSEPH SMITH/ GROCER/ 143 MAIN ST/ JACKSON MICH
It strikes me as odd to find this bottle here in Maine as it seems like the type that would stay close to the source. Maybe a souvenier from a wild and crazy night in Jackson.

Coldwater. Wow. Is that ever a crier. That is one cool flask. I love the double rimmed neck. That is a beauty. I would be shocked if it wasn't very desirable. Good to see you out there already. This cold weather has kept me from any inkling that I will get out anytime soon.

Sorry for the double post there I thought I lost it so I wrote and sent twice. Next up is a WHEELERS genuine BITTERS. I will be cleaning this one up and selling it for one millon dollars at the bottle show in Dover. Thats all I have for now Im just glad to have finally got back in before the storm. I will post more tomorrow.

Kevin,
Great flask. I had a clear one from Smith, years ago. I wish I still had it.
If you decide to part with that, please keep me in mind. We could work out a trade or do it in cash.
Thanks,
Bill
