Found this near an Inlet. No markings except on the bottom which is difficult to see. It's says "EB&CL" Then "10025". This Inlet is well known for bootlegging so I'm always on the hunt for bottles during my paddle trip. Any help is much appreciated.

I've found similar liquor bottles when swimming as well , its really impossible to identify this bottle as to exactly who used it , it likely would of had a paper label but it is fairly old I'd say

Does the 25 probably mean 1925?


I doubt that's what the numbers mean , it could be older than 1925 ? but its not going to be worth much either way. there is a lot of these bottles out there , I have found many similar before

this bottle is British. made in England or Scotland . 1890s to 1910. not worth much to most collectors . nice looking bottle . I have quit a lot of them . the ones in black glass are my favorites.

Yeah EBCL would be a glass company, EB & Company Limited. Edgar Breffit definitely seems likely.
