Pirate rum bottle..... Black glass

[surfnturf]

Thought I was doing a good deed and removing trash ..... I think it's a "mallet" because it is 9 3/4 inch tall. Eyeball find in mud with seagrass growing out of the top! My first completely intact old bottle! One man's trash is another man's treasure!

That's an old one.
Applied lip, deep kick up bottom.
Some of those bottles are so thick that you
could probably use them as a mallet.

Thats a sweet find.

That is a clean one and a collectible, I love the color!

I find a lot of glass and very few intacted unless they are small. Last hunt had 3 broken, tops only..

Nice old bottle! You can just see him sitting on a ship, finishing the bottle and tossing it into the water!

more likely a wine or ale bottle = your old rums are usually fatter
but a nice one

this is a "true" mallet - on my list to find in the water
