Evening all. Recently was doing some ground works in the back garden when a few foot down came across this interesting looking bottle. It was buried in the foundations of the house. Iv take some pictures to see if i can get any help identifying its original content. Iv looked for markings and stamps but cant see any. The lid looks like it was originally white and has a cork lining by the looks of it. Im guessing as i found it in the house foundations which were done in the 1930s that its from that time period. Any help is greatly appreciate and apologise if iv posted this in the wrong section.

Maraschino cherries (or other condiments).

Hi Harry. Thanks for the reply, but do you mind giving a bit more detail? Are you saying this bottle held Cherries? Any idea what company (Assuming its a UK one) made it?

1930's looks about right. It's almost impossible to tell what company made it since it doesn't have any name on it. It could have held any number of things. Reminds me of the modern olive bottles. Without a company name it's pretty difficult to give anyone much information.

Thanks for the info. Does the cork lined screwcap give any clues to its contents? You mentioned olive bottles which fits in with the cork top.

Andy, you've been given about the most information possible with the amount of evidence presented. I agree with Harry Pristis and would add Cocktail Onions to the possibilities. The cork liner in the top would be consistent with the use and time period, pretty much a standard for the industry and not a clue to the exact contents. The time period could also extend into the 1940s or even later.
