Description

A circular band around the shoulder of the bottle is embossed with the text CONTENTS ONE PINT. Near the base of the bottle, there is a further embossed inscription reading PETROLEUM CO, identifying the Esso Petroleum Company. The capacity refers to the Imperial pint measurement common in the United Kingdom.
