Would be the most common embossed branded oil bottle in New Zealand. This one displayed being Pint sized and the other size obtainable being Quart size. They are certainly not a rare item and thus quite easy to obtain at antique shops or auction sites such as Trademe at any given time. Although, finding such a bottle with the original sealed metal cap which displayed the oil viscosity would prove a far more difficult task.

Hi Dylan Thanks for checking in with us on this. At Puke Ariki, we are not qualified, and are not allowed to give out monetary valuations. I guess your best bet with something like this would be to have a look and Trade Me and see if you can see anything similar for sale, though perhaps you have tried that already?
