working on a demolition site at an old army barracks at tidworth near salisbury england i found this old bottle which had been cemented in with the brickwork.later after cleaning it up some i saw that there was some rolled up paper inside.written on it is the following message. 21st june 1905 i write this on the longest day of the year the best of luck.
it also has 2 signatures and states they were carpenters and from newcastle.
the bottle is a clarkes world famed blood mixture.
not worth a great deal but something i will keep hold of.

hadnt ever thought about trying to trace up details,but now i think i will hand over details to my sister who is good at tracing family histories.the demolition job used to turn up some interesting things now and then.a nazi flag found in a loft,i sold that on ebay after having it removed once for being a symbol of hate.just took off the pictures.i checked that the buyer was a collector and not a far right political type.
