British Mk.VII Water Bottle

Introduced in 1939 the Mk.VII Water Bottle differed from the earlier Mk.VI in having a wire loop attached to the neck of the bottle to which the cord for the cork was attached. The bottles were now enamelled green, instead of the blue used since 1888, and the cords for the corks were half the length of those used previously. The cover remained unchanged.

These water bottles are British made and in excellent condition. The bottles have no dents, and the enamel is unchipped. The wool felt covers do have some very small areas of mothing. The water bottles are believed to date from the 1950s, although without removing the covers on all it is impossible to state with certainty.
