I cant get over the last line..

Looks like it might have been in a fire or something.

And I am fairly certain that's what mermaids call a "snarfblatt".

The latest find in Port Townsend...

A miniature whiskey bottle, about 4" high. Who knew they had little airline booze bottles before there were even commercial airlines? That's planning ahead.

Tom Nic already found, and posted about an almost identical bottle, but I found this guy at Alki Junkyard last night:

The interesting thing is that I guess the bottler in Fresno and the one in Seattle were both using the same bottle design, but neither one was using the official coke bottle design.

I found this really cool blob near Owens beach. There are no markings on it and what's really interesting is it contains a glass and metal/rubber stopper that is inside and won't come out. Anyone have an idea on the history of this bottle?

Found the embossed version of my previous post of another blob top. Found these and many other cool bottles on a solo night dive tonight in Tacoma.

Wow, so much cool stuff still being found. I love Cetacea's blob-top bottles [envy].

Found this today, an 1880's-90's medicine bottle in great shape. Just sitting there. And the usual assortment of clay pigeons.

Recent finds off of Port Townsend... A stoneware beer bottle and ketchup bottle, circa 1870-1890's. And -- this one was tricky to identify! -- a Chinese stoneware ginger jar, ~9 cm high, c. 1800's?
