This is the best collection of early case gin bottles that I have ever seen..and they were all found together beneath a house. The house was built in 1760 in Paget and as the floorboards were being replaced a year ago all of these bottles plus a few more were found just laying in the dirt. They are  all in perfect condition and date to around the time  the house was built and must have sat undisturbed for about 250 years. The reason they were put there remains a mystery...perhaps they were smuggled into Bermuda and hidden to avoid paying a tax.
