I found this old green glass bottle a short time ago and thought it was mid-late 19th century rum bottle.

After some research however it turned out to be a Hunyadi Janos mineral water bottle from the early 20th century. Old, but not that old, and unlike the swashbuckling adventures I imagined it may have seen, according to the old advertisements it was a constipation cure, so... not much adventure there.

I don,t know about that.If you got constipation and it loosens at the wrong time,you might find it an adventure!

I did find it in the ocean. Old ships, no bathrooms, rough seas and just a rope with a board hanging over the side.
 

Pretty neat. I've only found a few unbroken old bottles and pounds of broken to pieces ones. It may not be as old as you wished, but it is old and a true survivor.
