126-year-old mystery message in a bottle found inside building wall

Or as it’s now known, trumpery.

Is it bad that I thought of the Fallout 4 bottle messages, and how one of them was close to that location.

(it was Bottle message - Not Going Well, if you want to know)

I think Shea Street would have been slightly off map, and it was just a radioactive bog if you modded out the invisible walls.

Yeah, it does still have that ‘vintage type ad’ aesthetic that is trending these days. The paper label doesn’t seem to have aged as you might have expected with something from 1894. And I’m still a bit leery of the curved title case font, how would that have been done in 1894? If it’s a spoof, at least they researched it, but I would carbon date it before giving it any more laurels.
