unusual RAF bottle

anyone have any info on this? I digup victorian bottles and came across this stoneware one that looks victorian style but is AM Air Ministry marked. Ive dug all over the area and have only found just one of these and lucky to have it intact. Ive searched the net but I cant find any info or mention of this type. Anyone? Ill assume its ww2 era

It’s info taken from the RAF stores vocabulary (Air Publication 1086). No pictures in Section 33 Unfortunatley.

I would imagine, but have no proof that this type of bottle was used for many years.It’s in the 1957 copy but under a ‘new’ reference number (it doesn’t list when the number was changed).

Sorry to not have any further information for you.

Regards

Dave

Hi there,

Looking at my copy of Section 33C of AP1086 (2nd edition dated 23rd October 1957) 33C/288 (superceeded by 33C/9424963) is listed as Flux,soldering,fluid 1/2pint bottles to spec DTD81

Hope that helps

Regards

Dave

nice info thanks! so this bottle is 1950s? does it show any photos on your book? and what is the name of the book you got this info from?
