Had one for must be 30 plus years, used to use it a lot, not so much nowadays but still handy on the odd occasion.

A useful tool is never a waste. Wait until the moment you need it, as proof.

Stopped by the "Shed" as they call it at the local recycling centre. Nothing good tool wise, but I did acquire a couple of old mineral water bottles.
The most interesting is the one without a base. Its marked Genuine Superior Arated Waters, Carter & Co.. , Bristol , Established 1831 .
The other bottle has the captive marble in the neck, and is marked J. Woods & Co. , Aldershot , and Mineral Water. This bottle had the remnants of a red rubber washer inside.
Any bottle collectors here that know a bit more about the one without a base ?

Not a collector but know that they were shaped like this to prevent the cork from drying out and the "aerated" water losing its carbonation

It is a Hand Grenade bottle.
Made by the 100’s for many drink producers. Worth anything from £1 to £50. Depending on the drink or medication it contained.
Natural cork was the original stopper, before natural rubber came along. By storing the bottle on it side it kept the cork moist.
I have one or two here.
What does it say on the bottle?
That will give you a starting price.

Bit of a odd day.
A skip dive, a box in the mail and a "Boss paid for it".
Plus a rumage in a "Going to the dump" box.
The skip find.
Just shy of 9 feet of wide pitch pine boards.
A full tin of decking oil.
A vintage AA Badge.
I think the number was members number.
Todays job was sort out contacts on a assorted parts of a fire alarm. The units are on back order and will not leave the USA untill Jan 23. All we can do is extend the life by cleaning the contacts.
Guess what one I used, as there was 2 of each type?
Sneaked this set in as well. I have had a few of theses in the past.

The box that was in the sorting office has come from a far away land.
Hong Kong.
Was meant to be a 1950's British SLR cleaning kit.
Some of it is, the broard arrow stamp confirms that.
But.
This was the let down.
Made by H&K, in 2008.
It may be used on the H&Ks as well as the SA80 and SLR. But not the dates I am looking for.
The dealer has replied and he is refunding 60% of the cost.
This tin I found in second hand shop, £1.
Un used.

It states "Genuine Superior Arated Waters , Carter & Co.. , Bristol , Established 1831 ". I acquired it because it looked interesting, haven't thought about its value or selling it. Been toying with the idea of refilling it, making up a rough cork and topping it off with dirty wax as a curio, but the Wife thinks we have enough curios in the house, including me.
Thanks. On the bottle the wording is spelled " Arated ".
