jay dubaya Posted 23 November , 2021 Share Posted 23 November , 2021 Never seen one before it looks homemade and reminds me of a Kelly kettle, but there’s no way to heat it up with soldered seams and the ‘broad arrow’ plaque just appears badly added.

Jerry B Posted 23 November , 2021 Share Posted 23 November , 2021 trench art hot water bottle perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interested Posted 23 November , 2021 Share Posted 23 November , 2021 IMO the two holes on the shoulder once had a small loop for the other end of the chain (otherwise it leaks...) Does it fit into any of the standard webbing/straps easier than the official issue water bottle? I also think it is "home-made". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Bailey Posted 23 November , 2021 Share Posted 23 November , 2021 Has the SRD Jar got a maker's name on it? I've never seen a SRD jar with that size lettering before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancpal Posted 23 November , 2021 Share Posted 23 November , 2021 Agree on the SRD lettering. Granted there were many manufacturers and inevitably variations occurred, I just haven't seen this style before. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldson Posted 25 November , 2021 Author Share Posted 25 November , 2021 Have tried unsuccessfully to find out what the numbers and letters are on label,to give me some idea what possibly is it used for,one person asked said could be an early urin bottle used by RFC or artillery spotters in balloon ?
