According to Google, the manufacturer went out of business before 1932. That bottle's been in the sea for a LONG time. Amazing that it survived intact.

Random question, is it generally a good or bad idea to try and get those jellyfish back in the ocean when you find them on the sand? I would want to help them if I found one but I have never been to a beach so...

In general it's better to not intervene in nature. Sea creatures stranded on a beach provide food for many beachcombing animals.

What do I think? That whoever wrote the headline for this list has no idea what "washed ashore" means. I was wildly confused until I clicked over to reddit after only a couple of the first dozen were things that might have actually washed ashore. Did somebody thinks "Cool stuff seen at the beach" wouldn't get as many clicks?

Agreed. They rarely know what words mean here. "Quirky" doesn't fit either.
