I unearthed this nice bottle at my mine.
Not sure of the age or if it has any value but it's in excellent condition and I have a place for it. ![]() I cleaned it carefully and well using techniques that I researched online. If anyone knows old bottles... I'd appreciate any insight as to what it is. Looks like a soda bottle. ![]() The glass is relatively thick and has a nice light lavender or amethyst coloration to it. The lettering "Kuner" is raised and beveled. Here are a couple pics. ![]() ![]() -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Found a nice bottle this weekend.
Chris I hope you don’t mind me posting this up on your thread but it seems like a great spot for show-and-tell on old bottles. This one here appears to be fairly easy to date. I think it is mid 1850's. Could be wrong, but from what I've seen the inscription, “Act of Congress" is a dead give-away. I found it in a local reservoir that is way down. I don't think it is low from drought conditions, might be for maintenance. The front is labeled, "R.R.R Radway & Co New York". The RRR stood for Radway's ready remedy. I can just imagine what was in that remedy. And if you put “Congress” on the side it has to be good, Right? The other side reads, “ ENT ACOR TO. At the end of the ent and acor there is a small d and it is underlined. It was a very interesting bottle and it was just lying in the water next to big rocks being moved around with each wave that found the shore. I got lucky and am thankful. Have a good one, Woody. -------------------- Proud CP Lifetime Member
