Little bottle, Chauffeur Badge
Hello everybody.
The bottle was an eyeball find out in the woods, little surface trash at this spot,but there it was sitting as if it was dropped that day. Looks kinda oldto me, don't know bottles at all. The chauffeur badge was found in thewoods too, about 2 miles away from the bottle. Been taking my detectorfor a few hikes, getting a bit of exercise

Nice digs. I took my cousin to an old farm house. He was using my CZ6a and he found a real nice 1922 Mi. chauffeur badge. Congrats.

The badge is awesome! WTG! Is there embossed words on the bottle? How far does the mold line go up to the top? Does it go over the top of the lip? under the lip, or under the neck?

Re: Little bottle, Chauffeur Badge
Thanks all,
Mike- it looks like the mold line stops under the lip, at which point there is a mold line that goesround the bottle where the lip attaches. On the side of the lip are mold lines, one thatmatches up with the mold line running up the neck, the other mold line does not matchup ( is off by about an 1/8 of an inch.) There are no embossed words, just the marks onthe bottom. The glass seems to have numerous bubbles in it.
Good luck,
HH.

Nice silvers and very nice chauffeur's badge I've found 2 chauffeur's badges and they were both in really bad shape, it looks like the old Michigan ones hold up well.

Nice badge and silvers B! Being a bottle nut, I would head back to that site with a shovel, no telling what's buried below. That brown bottle would definitely go in the collection.
