Antique Bottle From 1880s St. Patrick's Day find
Antique Bottle From 1880s Links Dundalk, MD To Dundalk, Ireland - Dundalk, MD Patch
Sala’s find: a sparking tonic glass bottle from late 19th century Ireland—Dundalk, Ireland. The bottle was likely brought over with early Irish immigrants to our Dundalk, founded by Irishman Henry McShane—originally from Dundalk, Ireland, of course.
Sala had the bottle authenticated by the Baltimore Antique Bottle Club before purchasing it from the Squirrel’s Nest for $25. The owners from the Squirrel’s Nest told Sala that the bottle had come from a local family’s estate sale many years ago.
