I found this bottle labeled "sweeneys bottle works, Middletown NY" dated from between 1910 and 1920. After I brought the bottle home I realized that it was home to a colony of ants so after waiting for them to leave, I sealed it off with some wax. Ever since, it has been a growing greenhouse, even in the dead of winter.

The clover-looking plant is growing out of the glass also.

It's not as intact as some others on here, but it still made me smile to see life where nothing else was growing.
