Just found this old bottle burried in the front yard............

Filled & sealed? False advertising. It appears to be empty with no lid.

I had a slurp before I posted it.

Almost blew me sky high! 
Lucky I had two feet to land on.

Laurel Kerosene was a subsidiary of Socony-Vacuum (Mobil Oil) based in Perth, Australia.

That's what drew my attention. Seems it's been in the ground for a long time. (In 1916, Vacuum introduced its popular "Plume" (petrol) and "Laurel" (kerosene) brands to the Australian market which would develop the operations significantly. A year later, Vacuum brought its first 100 gallon, horse drawn tank wagon into service). 

We no longer have Mobil gas stations, they've all been taken over by 7 Eleven.

I was looking up the history of the bottle on the net, I actually came across two on ebay..........

Mine's going on our "unusual bottles" shelf in the kitchen.
