Sea Glass Findings – It’s All in the Hunt

May 2018: I found this piece of sea glass on Hatteras Island last week. The letters “OX” are more obvious, but if you look very closely, the smaller letters “LOR” can be seen underneath the “OX”. As I thought about the letters and what this piece of glass may have originally been, Clorox Bleach was the first thing that came to mind. After researching the history of Clorox Bleach bottles, I learned that it did, in fact, come in amber glass bottles beginning in 1918. Over the years the shape and size of the bottle changed. Comparing the pictures I found to the lettering on this piece of glass, I would estimate that this piece was circa 1945. Seventy-three years later it washed up on the beach at Hatteras Island.
