Heart wrenching message in a bottle from World War Two. Hey everyone look at my ebay auction, I have decided to sell off one of the prize pieces from my eclectic collection. Carries and my house is overflowing with stuff and I decided to get ride of a few things.

I bought the bottle from the estate of the lawyer who found it in 1955 in Pompano Beach, Fl. The message reads: "Boat drifting far out. Boche torpedoes S.S. Van Tonburg. Out of food, everything. God help me and bless my loving parents." It is signed Carl Schillen.

So if you know of a collector, let him know!
