While a lot of the bottles are not in real good condition, they are still of interest to me to provide a memory of my dives. When we moved to our new house in 2007, Kelly and I purchased a side cabinet that that now houses the better bottles out of the collection.

The following is a sample of the bottles that we have.

		Rum Bottle - small Cap: cork Colour: white	Inscription: Raised J. McCarthy & Co, Rum Bottle Bottom: AGM Found: Shiprock, Sydney Comment: J. McCarthy & Co still operates in Sydney. They are still in the hospitality business, today wholesaling glasses to pubs etc. It seems this bottle was made for them by Australian Glass Manufacturers. They then sold them to various companies/hotels who then filled them with rum and sold under their own label. I have seen an example where it is badged as Tooth & Co but bottled by the Coogee Bay Hotel.
