Occasionally, I find a piece of Sea Glass with writing on it. I enhanced the brightness and contrast on this picture. if you look closely in the white circled area, you may be able to make out the word JAVEX. So I thought this glass came from an old bleach bottle. Interesting. I never knew bleach came in glass bottles. So I Googled “glass javex bottle” and wound up on the Glass Gallery website. Wow! that picture looks like the piece of bottle I found on the beach.
Then, I inherited this glass JAVEX bottle. Information on this bottle is a bit sketchy but it seems the glass bottles went out of production between 1940 and 1960. They were made by the Dominion Glass Company. So I know my glass piece is about 50 years old, but it does not necessarily mean it has been “underwater” for 50 years.
Here is a picture of the bottom of the bottle. In future posts I will talk about some of these markings and how they are helpful in identifying the origin of glass.
Thanks for stopping by. Next time I promise some news for newcomers to Prince Edward Island.
