DescriptionFree-blown olive green glass bottle with a flared rim, a short cylindrical neck, rounded shoulders and upper body, a pinched middle body, an almost square lower body, and a flat bottom with a shallow raised portion in the center. The middle of the bottle is pinched together in five places, once at each corner and once in the center. The pinching creates six open passages that connect the upper and lower bodies, although one of the passages in the center is nearly closed. There is a crack on the bottom, cutting off one of the corners, and extending up to the lower portions of the body.
There is a white oval sticker adhered to the upper body of the bottle. The faded letters and numbers "B3/ ARR/ #7 R.11.BB" are hand-written in pen on the label. A second yellowed oval sticker is adhered to the bottom of the bottle. The number "287" is hand-written in blue ink on the label.
