A friend from Nova Scotia gave these to me a few years back. His grandfather, a local fisherman, did a salvage run to the Titanic wreck site within days of the event and pulled a bunch of stuff from the water, including several bodies. These and other bottles sat in his mom's basement until the 1980's when my friend's father passed away.
Anywho...there's no ironclad provenance, no White Star markings; nothing in fact other than my pal's version of the tale, which seems routinely believable. And when I croak someone'll probably just chuck them in the trash.
The small one bears a striking resemblance in every way to one I saw firsthand at the Titanic Exhibit in Hartford last year (that's where I bought the little box of coal).
It is a strange feeling to hold one and think about what went on that night in 1912.
