Trucks, beaches, and bottles. (Future members finds)

[ModernMiner]

I thought I would post some pictures of some items found by two guys I work with who will soon be joining the site. (I got them hooked)

Guy #1 I took to the farm I've been searching, and he found this old Hubley truck in the back yard within minutes. I'm guessing 1940's, but not sure?
I told him that I get 1/2 of what he finds, so he gave me the tires! Just kidding. A neat find.

Guy #2 used to live in Hawaii (must be nice) and has done some MDing in the past, including underwater diving. He found this neat old bottle outside of a shipwreck about 120' down. The other items were found on the beach and at the edge of the water.
Some great looking jewelry and a neat 1944 coin too.
Can anyone identify some of his finds?

Thanks for looking,
MM

ModernMiner,

Nice bottle. It probably dates from the 1830's to 1900.

From the schweppes website:

What kinds of bottles were used in the early days?
In the 1800's Schweppes used bottles with rounded ends, called 'egg sodas', with wire-bound corks that, by lying horizontal, stayed continuously damp so that the carbonation could not escape as easily. The famous egg-shaped bottle became the industry standard and patents were taken out by William Francis Hamilton in 1809 and 1814.

What's in a name?

Initially labelled J Schweppe & Co, the world famous drink would later only carry the surname of the inventor along with the product name. When the "J" was dropped from the company name, an "S" was added to Schweppes to show the company belonged to Schweppe, and also because it was easier to say!

See the attached link for a little history.

The one item with the sharp pointy things on one end is known as a fork...not a common tool in Korea. Many folks in Western countries use them for eating. I believe they stab a piece of food with the fork and then put the food into their mouths. Chopsticks are the tools of choice for eating in Korea. The fork would be from a hotel catering to Westerners, no doubt.
