Incroyable!!!! I found my first bottle stopper!!! Beautiful aqua with a number on top. It’s either a six or a nine, depending on how you look at it. I did a bit of research on bottle stoppers and I think this dandy might be nearly 100 years old. It could be from an apothecary jar. I have to do a bit more research.
What an amazing week! I found a message in a bottle, a sea glass marble, my first piece of pink (hubby found it), and a bottle stopper. What’s next?

Just found my first stopper today in the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland. It’s pink, somewhat ornate and beautifully conditioned. My daughter and I have been collecting for years but we just got serious about it within the past year. Have located several good sources and am accumulating quite a bit of glass, but haven’t figured out what I want to do with it yet!
