Good find yo.

Thats about as cleaned up as I can get it if you mean the larger one it literally is in 3 pieces and the 1/2 pint is pretty clean for the most part. Its to bad about the pint, even broken it still is nice.
Bob I hope you have a good season, be safe and watch out for boaters that dont know what a dive flag is. My season will be winding down as summer comes on and the kids are out of school. Brains I dont collect insulators so if your interested let me know.

That half pint is fairly rare even here in Michigan, it would bring a pretty penny. I have only seen one & that was 25 years ago. Michigan collectors pay well for their rarer home state stuff.

Nice finds Kevin. I'm HOPING to dive tomorrow. :0 You know how that goes.

I still cant believe you found those 1000 miles from their home. How random is that? I haven't found a small town bottle from the midwest out here, EVER. Some common big city bottles, but nothing like you found there.

Continued good luck buddy

I'm still in mourning over the bad news about the first one.. I sit by the road and count vehicles driving by, trying to erase the memory of those words.. '3 pieces'.. how it hurts..
