[QUOTE="DrDuck, post: 590169, member: 158"] I found this Piesse and Lubin perfume bottle in my front yard. The company traded from 1855 until the 1950's. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/158/1610063410_piesse_and_lubin.jpg[/img] My house was built in 1880, and interestingly the bottle looks identical to a couple that were recovered from a shipwreck in Bermuda dating back to 1864, It's an interesting story: "In February 2011, a strong winter storm exposed and removed a stable sediment layer deep within the intact bow section of the shipwreck Mary Celestia, a Civil War Blockade Runner sunk in 1864 off the south shore of Bermuda in 55 feet of water. Four months later, over a seven-day excavation, a local and international team of marine archaeologists, co-led by Philippe Max Rouja, (Bermudas Custodian of historic shipwrecks), James Delgado (NOAA) and Dominique Rissollo (Waitt Institute) uncovered and rescued a small cache of hidden artifacts from the Mary Celestia, including perfume bottles embossed Piesse & Lubin London."
