Hi all, just hoping that someone can help in providing any info on this bottle.
I found it when i was on holidays in the UK over 20yrs ago, i dug it up from the side of a cliff after heavy rain washed away half the dirt.
Its clay / stone and is aprox 20cm tall & 6.5cm wide at the base.
the writing on the bottle says GRIFFIN & BERRY HASTINGS.
any info would be much appreciated, such as aprox age or even a price that i may get for it if i wanted to sell it, its in excellent condition.
Thanks a lot
Colin, Perth Western Australia

Nice find, Colin. It looks like a stoneware ginger beer bottle. There are a lot of different kinds of them, and some are quite rare. Unfortunately, I don't have a book on them, as I primarily collect poison bottles. I'm sure there is someone here on the forum who knows more about them than I do. Jim
