ive found over 20 old bottles from late 1800s thru early 1900s over the last 10 yrs or so in the water

I think they are dead - will try and get all the muck out - probably just leave the shells as conversation piece

bottle on left is by Hiram Wheaton co. and dates to around 1900 - 1909 - called "Whale water"
one on right is Charles T. Smith and from 1920 (s) - though they look like they would have had bottle caps
I found pics of them with wire and porcelain stoppers
