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,
