 John,,an old digging mate of mine,dug the 1/2 oz martins ubend about 30 years ago he still has it in his cabinet,he gave up digging about 10 years ago and has no interest in bottles at all now,,I have tried to buy it,swap it,the answer is no every time,he seems to get some sort of pleasure in talking about it when we meet.,,,THE OLD GIT.

 John,,these are the 1 oz,,2 oz,, 3 oz,, 4 oz,,, the 1/2 oz was dug from the tip I am going to when the farmer cuts it,,we left some of the I world war end undug as it was mainly sauce bottles and bulk we were looking for pot lids then and thought it to later a tip,I dug an old newspaper up and was reading about the Bolsheviks dated 1917,,anyway times change it was a good tip for poisons,,so I will have another go all been well.
