WW2 Brandflasche Bottle

[Kilroy was Here]

Hi Steve a couple of clearer pictures [ i hope] the bottle is covered in dimples ,fruit ,flowers etc ,a nice flat for a label .Made for Idris ,London for lemonade ? ,1920s/30s
The Brandflasche was advertised by a well known British Dealer as "British Homeguard Petrol Bomb Bottle",as iam interested in Homeguard equipment and didnt recognise it ,i did a search here and found your post ,looked it up on Lexs site.
Mine as the cork pushed into the bottle and smells of petrol/ oil, i also have a Abwehrflammenwerfer 42 [static flamethrower] which also smells strongly of the petrol/oil mix .Now for the price ......38 iam told by a BOCN member these usually go for 70-80
Regards Dave

That lemonade bottle is great looking Dave, I really like it! Thanks for the better pics. The price you paid for your Brandflasche was very cheap. My example was 90 euros plus shipping, so about $150 US, which was still a fair price I think considering the rarity of these bottles.

I like and have collected some WW2 items made from glass like the Russian glass canteens and the "Stalins Perfume bottle" PMD mine charge I've shown recently, also have some German beer bottles, a blendkorper grenade, and Glassmine 43.

.....And now this beauty!! I also have one the Hungarian glass bottles like John has shown, and these are really nice also. Now I just need to find a Russian example!! :tinysmile_hmm_t:

Here are some scans I made of a translated 1944 Russian manual about their Molotov cocktails that might be interesting for others to see. It kind of belongs here in this thread I think.......
