Name the bottle

[tomferry]

As the title says simply name the bottle ! I suspect the lines are for measurements ?

I think it is F lochaluce ? Or instead of a h k ?

I'm pretty sure about the r as in the bottom right of https://handwritinggraphology.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Handwriting-ANALYSIS-LETTER-R-2.jpg Victorian script, still used into 20th century - my father writes like this.

But it makes no difference as whatever I try "Google did not find a match for your search"

Can you clear more of the sand off with a soft brush?

If it's calibrated, then possibly a medicine bottle, so possibly the Thackray Museum in Leeds could help?

I have been given a booklet published by William Cooper and Nephews, Agricultural Manufacturing Chemists Berkhamstead., their 1916 catalogue. The photo of their price list makes interesting reading.

It would be Stockatrice for mastitis

Thanks very much all so for the pit ponies !

Nice to no they got cared for, makes sense they obviously was valuable assets and not cheap !

Prints in image below . We have came across sections which are still a few inches deep & represent almost motorway junctions . Can find photos if of interest.

I am struggling to find the actual purpose of this medicine . Don’t suppose anyone else has came across anything else ?

I doubt the original contents would have been for the ponies, mastitis is primarily a cow udder complaint and IIRC is spread by flies. Possibly the bottle was re-used though, if it's graduated for dosing then possibly some other concoction was put in it.

Yes, pit ponies were looked after - as you say, they weren't cheap and needed to be properly cared for if they were to work well.

The Old Rurminator is our resident bottle expert. He will know almost certainly if it is of sufficient vintage.

Stockatrice is certainly an animal veterinary product. Seen here with dose graduations. A more collectable version comes in emerald green. Its quite possible it was used again for something else. Date probably c 1910.
