Hey Juan...

That bottle dates from just after the American Civil War. I don't have a value on it, but I found three or four underwater, just outside an old US Naval Shipyard out here in Maine. I found a great flint glass, open pontiled one, that I never should have traded, cause I miss it so much...

Where did you find yours?

Anyway Juan,

You get the picture... These are great bottles and specially if you have the matching Pepper!!! These have not been tumbled, so I may send them out. []

You know that there are some relicas, repros (fakes) out there as well, so if you're buying, be careful...[>:]

As far as I know the repros only come in the weird yellow color.

It interesting that Zumwalt indicates these probably were not produced by the Government but US NAVY was the brand name.

The bottles are scarce often coming up in the better auctions.

Hey Matt...

The repro's also came in an aqua color... My close friend, Rick Carney (BottleGod on E-bay) purchased one by mistake and compared it to mine... then the seller admitted it was a repro! [>:]

Unbelievable... I know... Just goes to show you. We have to be familiar with our dealers... check out the feedbacks and the "good" and "Honest" delaer history will shine through... Don't you agree??[8|]
