Greetings,

A small cosmetics bottle, embossed "Pompeiian Massage Cream" was located
in the wreckage of an early 20th century schooner.  I have traced down
general information on the product which was used as a facial cleanser
and lotion.  The schooner was presumably used in the Pensacola Red
Snapper fishery so the item was a bit of a surprise.  I am curious if
these bottles appear very frequently in the archaeological record and in
what contexts.  Has anyone encountered a similar bottle?

Thanks,
