    1853 Bottle found...help anyone?

    Hello all, I found this bottle under a house that was built in 1845, the bottle is in mint condition, just a lot of dust,,,,,there are no seams, the top is solid glass there is a portion of the bottle that sticks out and it has an anchor on it, the date stamp is 1853 and has " New Beauford" above the anchor....any ideas on this bottle?

    How about a pic of the bottom of the bottle?

    oh it is no repo. I have the same bottle missing the topper been looking for about a year for one to fit. I am sure it is a whiskey decanter 1880-1910. at least I know what the top looks like now!
