    Forest in a bottle

    Found this bottle in the woods while metal detecting. Haven't cleaned it yet as the little forest in the bottle is kind of neat

    "MIN CONTS 6 FL.OZ. PROPERTY OF NEHI BOTTLING CO."

    I think it's a Rums Dry ginger ale from 1937. Did this bottle have a paper label or did it have paint/print on it?

    I would say being that old it would have had a painted label on it. Funny there's no remnents left though.

    That's the neatest thing I ever saw

    I would put it on a sunny shelf and add a little water every other day and let it grow.

    That sure beats a chia pet

    Thanks for the comments I did find a link with a ginger ale bottle and it does look like paint label rather than paper:
