Hi
This is the first time I have posted on this forum. I particularly like the pics of all the real early bottles.
I have been lucky in that there is a 1840s station near to my place that is on a creek and I have recovered a few early pontilled small essence type bottles that i reckon are great.
I presume they probably originated from the U.K. The location I recovered them would have been a hundred miles or more from any shops etc (in the 1840s) where they would have been sold, so they would have been on a remarkable journey! U.K to Australia then a rough dray or cart ride over a hundred miles or so of rough country, remarkable not to be broken.
I will try to post a pic
cheers Glenn
