On my second dive I recovered an OP, Cobalt, Harrison's Columbia Inkwell

This was recovered yesterday and is being posted today because I got home too late. This bottle dates to 1850 and was most likely blown in a South Jersey Glass House. This beauty was 2' down into the bottom in 20' of water and found in an ash layer.

I forgot to mention that there is a vertical bird swing located right behind the embossing and it can be seen in the photo's if you look for it.
