Interesting story ! To bad the bottle 'had' to be broken...another crier ? Probably machine made given the date ! http://www.cnn.com/2015/0...in-a-bottle/index.html

Edit: The CNN site loaded pics AFTER I had finished reading, which is why I included these pics (I thoguht that they were lacking pics.)

^ The bottle that I likely wouldn't break. ^

^ George Bidder, the one who did it. ^

^ The Message. ^Doesn't look like she understood what "wire tail" is. From this site (DON'T CLICK: Too many pop-ups of ads and stuff. Slows my computer down. Who knows what else comes from it.) Note: Being from pre-1907 and European, it is likely tooled if not an applied-top. The British were using blobs into the 1930s. They were well behind us in glass-making but did glorious-looking bottles.As this man came from Britain, I assume that his bottles were made in one of their many glasshouses.

I remember reading about this in paper a few weeks back , didn't realise bottle had to be broken . although it was likely a common bottle if they used that many for experiment back then. there is likely still others out there but odds of another one being discovered not that good
