✅ SOLVED Maui find

[lldein]

Dug this in Maui this past week, says Guaranteed By Kotobukiya,it is machine and 8 1/2 inches, I think it it may be a sort of Whiskey or beer probably had a paper label because it was dug out from I say between early 1900's and 40's trash dump, I just didn't go down far enough for the good stuff.

Aloha lldein,

Nice color on that. It's not a whiskey or beer form in Western bottledom, though it could be a small whiskey.

If you sensed additional glass in the area, I'd wanna return with proper shovels & scratchers. Hawaiian bottles are avidly collected.

This is a modern whiskey from Kotobukiya Ltd.:



Did'ya see this one? Oriental Bottle Kotobukiya Co Ltd

 

[lldein]

No I did'nt see that one.Looks like the same and I think your right on small whiskey. Mahalo.

 

[diggummup]

Yeah, nice bottle. There is or was a small group of bottle diggers on here from Hawaii. I don't know if they still frequent the forum though. Now get out there and go deep!

 

[lldein]

Thanks, me and my buddies are planning a dig soon, it's been raining hard lately so maybe the ground should be softer but yeah gotta go deep!

.............. I just didn't go down far enough for the good stuff.

I also found this, it is 1 3/8 in. in diameter, some kind of metal and a flower design on one side, I haven't been able to get it open yet, a locket?

Hey lldein,

Looks like you had some fun! Nothing like digging a pack full of new glass. I'm looking forward to proper introductions, after their bath. The little metal round thing, I suspect, is a makeup compact.

LOL, there were alot of throw aways we really want the Maui round bottoms but it's easier to get bit by a shark. I thought better of posting that cause I need to stick to the thread.lol My wife says that's to small to be a compact. I need to find a way to clean it and possibly get it open ,not sure what it's made of.

Then tell your wife it's a compact rouge.

Well I got it open, there was some kind of dried up cream , then I realized that is probably a pic of the sun, kind of makes sense, early sunscreen?

 

[lldein]

Surf,
You could be right on this, we will try to clean it up better. Thanks

Agree that it looks like an old rouge compact, possibly this one?

FailCat,
right on the money! Mahalo.

The weird part is that compact is 1950's and I found a KA medicine bottle which dates back to 1910 on the same level, the bulldozers back in the day must of mixed everything up, guess I was wrong on the dump closing in the 40's.
