Yo sandchip, where you been hiding these bottles? Very pleasant to the eye. How did you get these 2 ?

Dug deep into the pocket for 'em. They were both dug by the late, great Tommy Mitchener.

My compliments to all on the fantastic bottles !!!!! I don't find anything close up here on the mountain

I really am fond of this long-necked demijohn! It is more than 19 inches tall, dip-mold blown, probably English or American. More than 200 years old! This bottle is featured on my demijohn web-site at

The Demijohn Page

That's a killer all over, Harry.

That has to be one of the most beautiful demis ive ever seen. Harry is it American? It looks New England to me.

Thanks, Dude, I also like it. It's hard to say where it was made. I think it wasn't made on the European Continent. To my eye, it is English or possibly in the English tradition in the USA. The bottle dates, after all, to just after the Revolutionary War. I haven't been able to match the bottle to any purely American tradition or factory.

I'd like to bring this back to the top to see if anyone else has some more old bottles to share. Here are my two but I hope to add more to the collection soon..hopefully by digging my own.

Here is a recent find I made in the USVI about two weeks ago. Dating this bottle around 1740 - 1780. This has to be one of my favorite finds to date.

VERY pretty, great find.

Here's one I dived up from a SC coastal river:

I think this one is called, in collectors jargon, a "Dutch bell." It's a mallet form dating to about 1740-60.
