114FFDB9-A391-4D1B-AC62-A209E9F8ACBA.jpeg Hello, typically when I walk my creek I find various miscellaneous bottle glass and ceramic but this piece has me interested. I first couldn’t tell it was glass, until I saw the broken part. I think it was probably from some wine bottle. I would like to ask if anyone could help tell me it’s age, or what bottle it may have come from l? Thanks for responding! 6BDF3145-5098-4269-BA5C-6C90E28CB685.jpeg 5A0F24E2-0B6A-468B-9D7A-77ACC8C72C83.jpeg 047ADF7F-752E-4C1F-B160-6989A55F19AD.jpeg AF349EBB-8A6B-4B46-BC4F-70748D23AAED.jpeg

Looks like a quart sized porter or ale to me, 1850s or so. Hopefully, there's more bottles that age in your creek.

Wherever you found that, there's likely more old glass and/or artifacts nearby. Might even try a metal detector if you have one. Good luck.

Thanks for the responses, it is amazing how one can find pieces of history in a creek. Strange thing is that I was fairly certain they were no homes in my area at that time. At one point I had found a wagon hub in that same section of creek. Thanks again!
