The bottle is 18.5cm high and about 5.5cm diameter at the base. It reads "TONY for all stock" on the side and has 4 horizontal marks off a vertical line running down the bottle. There is evidence that it had a screw top which has since been lost. It was found on some farm land near a river in South Devon, near Totnes. I believe it's some kind of tonic bottle for livestock but can't find out any more information. I have attached photographs, if anyone can shed some light on it, especially what it would have been used for and a date, it would be greatly appreciated.
