Hello all, I recently found this English bottle while diving. Its a snap case mold and looks pretty old (1840s?). It also has a nice big glass seal on it that reads "Antill Peters & Co Portsmouth and Portsea". Unfortunately, I am unable to find any info at all on this bottle / company. If anyone could shed some light, that would be great! Also, I've seen several bottles that have seals that are damaged due to them breaking upon being applied when the bottle was made. However, is this the case here? There is no impact damage around the seal on the actual bottle. Please let me know what you guys think! Thanks!
