Black glass fragment identification.

[JohnDee1]

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!

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!
