Mike,...not really sure. It's a markedly different color than any of my other teal bottles...Closest match is a "Hall's Hair Renewer" and that is still way off....I just call it amazing and beautiful. Each time I look at it I still can't believe I found it. It was my "holy grail" bottle for years. []

Double blob

That's an actual lip finish, wasn't sure if you knew Mike...

Matthews 1872 Closure, circ: 1872-1878, Occurs on 17 bottles,
Invented by: Joseph Connor,
Improvement by: John Matthews,
American Patent: June 11, 1872, Number: 127,851
American Patent: January 25, 1876, Number: 172,757

This was a form of cork fastener, with a modification by John Matthews that used a rubber and metal stopper. These were used on lager beer bottles. It was used only in the metro New York and Philadelphia areas. Bottles usually have the Matthews name and the patent date embossed on the base and can be identified by the unique bulge in the neck just below the lip. It was replaced by the Lightning stopper.

Hello Potlidboy, yea I have been there quite a few times. I grew up about two blocks from his house and I met him a few times with my parents. His lawyer lived across the canal from me and I was always there with his son so we always got to here some great stories about there dives. He also showed us some awesome treasure like coins, pieces of silver and even some emeralds. We even go by the otocha site on the way to the tortugas when we go. One day one of his sons came to the boca grande beach when we were there, he said the had just came over from the wreck site to relax on the beach.

My #1... Sold it for $1500 recently. Not exactly what I wanted to do, but a little extra spending money never hurt anyone.
