Message in a Bottle

I've finally acquired what is (for me) one of the

rarest and most coveted items of

LOST memorabilia for my collection!

ABC held a contest prior to Season 6 of LOST.

The winners each received a 

"Message in a Bottle".

The bottle contains a message rolled

into a scroll and tied with twine and a

2GB USB fail-safe key.

The bottles were a limited edition of only 815.

I did not win one of the bottles and have been

stalking each eBay listing for one ever since...over three years!

They usually sell for more than I was willing to pay.

But I finally won an auction a couple of weeks ago.

My first response upon opening the package was

"I thought it would be bigger!"

The bottle only stands about 7.5 inches tall.

I positioned it next to my Virgin Mary Statue for size comparison.

 I was also surprised that the bottle has such an amber

color.  I had only seen pictures of clear bottles and initially

thought it was discolored from smoke (monster?) or some other

pollutant.  But an internet search revealed that a number

 of the bottles were the amber color.

The USB fail-safe key is large and made of rubber. 

It contains the first five minutes of the Season Six Premiere.

Jacks' words are on the scroll.

I currently have the bottle displayed next to my Tawaret statue.
