Let's have another one...just like the other one...more barnacled bottles today

[Magyar]

and when I went to remove the barnacles in the sink, underneath them they were still alive!!! Ugh!

It was another beautiful, sunny day at the beach...low 30's..no wind. Hunted 3 hrs. at low tide.

The whiskey bottle is vintage.I found two of the same, but couldn't fit them both in my pockets, so I have to go back tomorrow and retrieve the second one where I placed it in the grass.

The large , ugly bottle is embossed "Hicksville Bottle Co, Hicksville NY" ...can't find any history of this company. On the heel and neck is also embossed "ROXY" 29 FL OZ ...????

Can anyone help ID this larger bottle?

Here's some pics

Thanks for looking

Could very well be a blob top beer or soda bottle. Is it a crown top the kind that had the pop top bottle cap or does it look like a round ball? Most likely a beer bottle, does it say registered around the bottom edge or side?

Hi,

I am a metal detectorist who finds many old bottles on the shoreline.

Yesterday, I found a large crown top bottle embossed with the name ROXY on the upper part, and on the heel is

Hi,

Sorry to revive an old thread. But i actually might be able to provide some information, as my grandfather owned the Hicksville Bottling Company.

Thanks,
