100+ yr old shipwrecked bottle intact.

[Bustop99]

I have a recovered shipwrecked bottle of Robert Brown 4 crown which is over 100 years old which I won at an auction from my dive club over 20 years ago. I have all the paper work for it and have posted online at http://bustop99.5gbfree.com/index.html Does anyone have an idea if it's worth anything and what can I do with it as I'm not a collector. Thanks

I have no idea what it's worth but if you're based in the UK then I would suggest you contact McTears http://www.mctears.co.uk/auctions/brows ... 84d2370214 they may be able to help.

Cheers John

The bottle looks great, but after 100 years in the drink how could the label have remained so pristine? It looks as though it was printed and pasted last week.

Maybe it was sealed in a Ziploc bag in case the ship sank the label would stay on . I thought Ziploc bags have been around back then , What do you think .

If you had opened the link on bustop's post, then all would have be revealed.
