All items are genuine unless noted. Most shipwreck coins and artifacts come with a certificate of authenticity (please check the description for each item).
Lot of 6 large, lead bottle-caps. 1 lb 11 oz total, each about 2" in diameter and 1" tall. Much like their smaller counterparts in our time, each of these items was screwed onto the top of a glass bottle (some with the broken glass still inside the rim), only back then the bottles and caps were much bigger! Each cap is thickly encrusted (mostly white) and heavy. Recovered from: Sacramento, sunk in 1668 off the Bay of All Saints, Bahia, Brazil.
