Square Spirits Bottle - Amber /Glass
Item #: 310130
- Authentic shipwreck artifacts from the SS Republic Shipwreck, archaeologically recovered after more than 138 years at the bottom of the Atlantic!
- As the 1800s progressed, the short-necked, tall square bottle continued to be produced in a non-tapered form and was used for a wide assortment of products from high-alcohol medicinal bitters to sarsaparilla and schnapps.
- With its maker's label long gone and lacking any embossed text on its sides, the identity of the bottle is forever uncertain; however, it was likely filled with some brew of bitters or schnapps, so popular in the middle of the 19th century
- Most of the Square Spirits Bottles recovered from the SS Republic shipwreck are in varying shades of green, that when illuminated from behind glow with brilliant hues of olive, yellow, grey and blue.
- Only a very small number of amber colored bottles were recovered. Their exceptional coloring combined with their rarity makes them particularly prized among collectors.
