A little late for Pimms O'clock

I feel the best place to find interesting objects is often close to home.
I am very lucky in the fact that my great grandparents collected and stored a variety of objects during the war.
This must be where I get my need to act like a magpie as soon as anything shiny or old is displayed before me.

My great grandparents owned pubs throughout World War Two so I am the lucky beneficiary of many glasses, vintage drinks and just odds and ends.

This Pimms No.1 Cup was recently given to me as she was unsure of what to do with it, I have found it pretty hard to date but I can assume as Pimms replaced the corks with a screw-off caps in 1946 its from around then.


But if anyone could help I would really appreciate it!

I especially like the "Contents 26 2/3 FL.OZS" sticker used to sort the bottles when ordering in the pub.

Just for good measure (no pun intended) here is what 1946 vs 2011 looks like.

Just in case your wondering, I have not been tempted to try it! It's still sealed.
