Context (Amendments / updates)
This object is marked with an incorrect museum number (1921.1036). That accession number is part of the George Spencer Perceval collection, which mainly comes from Bristol; and although this bottle is not actually 1921.1036, it was found with a handwritten label giving a findspot (Hanover Street, Bristol) and a date (1912) which are both consistent with the Perceval collection. Therefore he has been tentatively added to the Source field.
