Mystery Object (locked version of Original)

:D :D It's to hot for me..think I need a drink.....

From a bottle similar to the one G-dad kept in his snap bag filled with cold tea

 

Never seen one like that before, cold tea?
How old is that?

 

Haven't a clue why anyone would make one that shape,but I have another one with a local Town name and supplier of lemonade on."Chipping Norton& Hitchmans"
Too usefull to throw away I suppose.
I remember it was filled with tea in the morning,stopped with a cork and drank at "wet your whistle" time :D ... Memories of G-Dad sat atop a hay stack taking a slug will be with me forever

 

Me of ALL people should know what it is as we have one, but ours is frosted and perhaps a wee bit smaller! Me and my "stone" theory and at one time I thought of glass because of bubbles! A friend of ours* found it (I think in High Wycombe)and because we sort of collect antiques he gave it to us. We have it on display in a marble egg holder on our Welsh dresser ... however, this dresser is in the Isle of Wight and I am in Portugal. It will be coming back with us in October so I'll post a photo of it then. T'other half didn't guess it either. :D Besides one of these lemonade bottles, we have a lovely stone ginger beer keg from Berkhamsted.

* This friend always called me "mate" ... a discussion from a recent thread about gals and guys ... or is that guys and dolls?! :D

 

Lady-O-L, Think you may have missed an earlier topic about what we have in our sheds..these are a few of my collection :D

 

Am I impressed, or am I impressed, Pal. Beautiful collection! I particularly like the ruby glass which I collected in The States ... do they call it ruby glass here? (there?) I found one of the tiny little bottles to the right of the one with the label in the front row in the garden here when we were digging around and another little wee one (assume medicine bottles), and I use them as vases ... obviously for tiny flowers or buds. Lovely collection!

 

And this one is an early R.WHITES Lemonade bottle.
I didn't realise they had been around so long.

 

Shouldn't take too long this one?????????

 

A gardening goggle / face protector ... if there is such a thing? T'other half says a whistle :rolleyes:

PS Re the R White's bottle, Pal, there was a depot at the bottom of the High Street in Aylesbury (Bucks) may still be, but believe the factory was in Tring (Herts).

 

In the words of the Two Ronnies..............

Fork Handle????

 

Mrs Roders says it's a watering can....
and who am I to disagree?

 

Sorry folks

 

Who would use one of these?

 

Most gardeners
