The pictures are the best I can do for the moment, they aren't very clear though. The seam does go all the way to the top. There was writing on the bottom of the bottle, but it has worn away.

Okay, I looked at it more closely and done a bit of googling. It isnt Hodckinsons, it is Hodgkinsons. The 'G' had been worn away to look like a 'C'. The logo is a H on top of a W as the company owner is W Hodgkinson. I cant see any bottles online that match this one though, although some are similar, apparently from the 18th century. Using this information, can anyone tell me any more?

There seem to be something wrong with the website at the moment. When I try to post any pictures, it tells me that I have already posted the same thing.

Hi, I am new to this forum and know nothing about antiques but I am wondering if antone could help me? I was on a beach a few days ago and found a clear glass bottle washed up on the beach. It is a bit seaworn and is marked with Fleetwood on oneside and Hodckinsons (Not Hodgckinsons) on the other, along with a logo. It also has a black threaded cork. I couldnt find any info using google so I was wondering if anybody with knowledge of antiques could help me. I am really just curious as to where it came from. If you need any more information please let me know. Thanks
