    I’ve always wondered about this apparently old glass bottle that I purchased on eboo from a UK seller about eight-ish years ago. Googling produces absolutely nothing. It measures 21.5 cm tall and reads:
    Bowness
    Lake District
    Bottling Stores
    Windermere
    Any ideas? Age? Use? Authenticity?
    Sorry, it is dirty. I’ve been keeping dried flowers in it. Cleaning hints?
    Thanks!
    (I like to imagine Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazon's swilling their "lashings of ginger beer" from it but, of course, those would have been stoneware bottles, right? :))

    I forgot about denture cleaner, thanks for the reminder!
    Bowness Bay Brewing is based in Kendal and I'm not finding anything about their history and your mineral water suggestion?

    I’d leave it be, I like them as found. I bet thats pop of some kind, ginger beer maybe.
