Quick hunt today in salt water environment. One hand blown 19th century warranted flask with a somewhat crooked slug plate embossing that reads "The Gallagher Stores New York". The flask likely dates to the 1880's or 1890's and is in perfect condition from being in soft mud.
The flask somehow also has two iron inclusions within the glass visible on the front as a brown splotch, it's not dirt or a crack but an imperfection inherent to it since it was manufactured over 120 years ago.
Other bottle is a slick tooled blob top with no identifying marks other than a faint "250" mark on the base.
The blob beer bottle probably isn't worth too much, but the warranted flask has quite some collector value. I have videos of all these digs I go on but haven't uploaded any online yet, may do so in the future.
