I was checking on my geocache at some old stone work along the old Champlain canal. I spotted it laying there in the open. It was packed full of dirt and must have slid down the slope. I don't believe it was there when I visited a month earlier. I do have a few of these recessed panel medicine bottles, but have no idea of age. This one is 5 1/2 tall and 2" wide there is a 221 embossed on the bottom. Construction on the canal started in 1817 and was completed in 1823. Couldn't find when it was decommissioned. I'm defiantly returning in the Spring.
