A message has been left in a bottle about 1913 and has been found intact on the beautiful shores of the Spokane River located in Washington. Winkler who found it said he took the antique bottle back to his home and carefully eased the old note out of it. He said that the paper was slightly wet. The pencil-written note was dated March 30, 1913, and signed by Emmett Presnell. It asked the finder of the bottle to write him back.
