I found this JK&S 1536 bottle underwater in an area where I have found other bottles that predate 1910. It has lots of bubbles, the top looks like it has been applied, and it's overall shape is not round making it look like the mold that was used was hand carved. Could this have been an early milk bottle and what is the approximate age?
Thanks

Hello P2 Dive. Definitely a pickle jar / food related bottle. The bottle is English and is probably from the 1880s - 1900s (mid to late Victorian) era. I am 99% sure that the embossings on the base relate to John Kilner & Son from Wakefield (UK).

Great bottle!
