found in Narragansett Bay

[d12016466]

Found what appears to be a gin bottle. Jurgin Peters (Schiedam) with an embossed key, rising sun and shield. Had cork and full contents when found. Does anyone have any information on this bottle? I'm a new member and have a "boatload" of bottles, but I'm far from an expert. Danger Dave

Oh, thank goodness you found it!! It belongs to me.. I was doing some show-and-tell with my cronies on the deck of a fishing boat when an unexpectedly large wake rocked us, and it slipped from my grasp and plopped into the bay..
..just kidding, welcome to the forum! We would love to see a photo of this gin bottle!!

Welcome to the forum. Do you have any pics of your bottles? Did you find them diving?

Found it diving - still trying to figure out how to send pictures.

That should be a great bottle! In more than 45 years experience in bottles, I can't recall ever seeing one. Good find!

That name is common to gin bottles, I presume.
Looks like a good one.
