I happened upon a beautiful black bottle at the Toronto Bottle Show a few years back & had to have it. Since that time, I've been itching to re-visit the St. Lawrence River to try & recover something from the Loyalist period. A two-day dive trip to said location recently was fruitful for just one late-18th century squat-cylinder style bottle, regrettably broken. I managed to piece it back together to make it doable for display. Both have sand-pontil scars. BB1 is circa 1780's; BB2 circa early1800's.
Can't wait to get back in there and continue the hunt!
