Latest Dive Finds - Maine

[adshepard]

Just got back from another twoweeks of bottle diving in Downeast Maine.

Here is one of the nicer finds. A Dr. Kennedy's Rheumatic Liniment from Roxbury, MA.

I have since cleaned up the inside staining. This one was poking out of the sand in a spot I hade previously dug.

I'll post more finds later.

Second nice find is this F. (Fred) Schneider soda with a nice trotting horse design and a trademark of 1875.

Another nice find from the diving trip was this small creamer. There are plenty of broken creamers on the bottom. Most of them missing all or part of the handle. I have a nice size collection of handles and creamers waiting to be put back together. I had previously found one other creamer that had an intact handle but it had a couple of small chips in the lip. This one is perfect. It is just under 3 inches tall. By the design it would appear to be from either the International Steamship Company or the Portland Steamship Company.

PS - I agree with all of you. The bottle with the horse design is pretty sweet.

One more photo for you. Pipes were in abundance this year. Found some very cool ones. A couple of the ones in the photo are older finds that I may have posted before.

The one in the upper left is quite neat. Found it this trip in 50' of water. Some type of tankard or barrel with a spigot.

The top right and middle left are older finds with nice figurals.

The middle right is my first red clay pipe. I don't know if they are less common or just harder to spot due to thier color. I suspect both.

The bottom two pipes are quite Irish. I find a number of the "Home Rule" themed pipes.
