A ORIGINAL OLD BRASS SHIPS ENGINE ROOM OIL BOTTLE

This is a rare item to find, which is a ship’s ‘engine room oil bottle’. It is made of brass and has a special weighted base. The oil bottle also has its original cork top attached on a chain. This object was probably made during the 2nd World War period. The size of the oil bottle is 10” x 3” (25cm x 7.50cm). It is a very heavy piece, hence the quite high P&P costs. It is a genuine old item.
