What is this cool bottle???

And how much is it worth

Found it with a bunch of other things today hunting with our Garrett's.

Hey treble,

I'd like to see additional photos, please, in natural light, without the stopper. A view of the base, and neck, where the seams converge would be helpful, too. Didn't know those Garrett's had the medium cobalt feature. 8-)

Looks like a glass door knob to me with the metal portion that would have been on the small end missing.

Not too sure, but could be a stopper for a larger bottle because of the narrow neck. Probably would have been plastic or rubber around the neck portion. I found something similar, but it was clear and it was way too narrow to be a bottle. The bottom of your bottle is concave, so that would lend it more toward a stopper of some type. Looks like it has a seam along most of the edge, so this may lend it toward not being too old.

That object may BE the stopper, 'Surf'.

It could well be, Harry...

There are absolutely no markings, numbers, or letters anywhere on the Bottle. It does fit in your hand just like a door knob. Here are some more pix, I had to take them with my phone, my son left before he got the pix for me. His phone takes much better pix then mine(closeups) Yeah those Garretts
's are amazing machines. :laughing7:
