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 ;D

"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. :icon_scratch:

That's the neatest thing I ever saw :icon_thumright:

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 :wink:
