Found this on may beach walk while searching for driftwood for the fire. It was half buried at near the high water line. The contents were a bit of white cream, some water and air which I washed out in the sea. I thought it could be useful container and I often scavenge when out on these walks.
The top reads WELLCOME CHEMICAL WORKS and Over 270 Highest Awards.
The base has a unicorn and the number 14.
I went on line to look up the chemical works and it seems that the company has not been known by that name for a long time.
I find it difficult to believe that it has been bobbing around for a long time even though there was some air in it. On the other hand the top is still quite legible and if it had been rolling around in the sand I think it would be sanded down.
More fanciful is the idea that it could have escaped from one of the old wrecks offshore and popped up.
Since it was a UK company does anyone remember these little bottles in the chemists?
