Vintage

When clearing out Mr A Snr's house, we found these two in what appeared to be a first aid box.  Of course, I'm aware of the blue Optrex eye baths like the one on the left, but have never seen what appears to be a hand-blown glass version like the one on the right.  Although I can find no details stamped on the foot of this glass, I have trawled eBay and found very similar items that are dated around 1917.  How amazing is that?

Thought for the day:
