British Navy Black Glass Lime Juice Bottle VR Anchor Seal Circa 1860. About 10 1/4 inches tall.

Very good condition, with a small chip on the base edge, and some very small chips around the edge of the mouth (please see the enlarged photographs). VR anchor seal on the shoulder (for Queen Victoria, and property of the military). Lime juice was used by the British navy to prevent scurvy. It is also where the slang term Limey originated. A very nice example, of a hard to find bottle.
