If you've spent some time walking abandoned signal lines, you've probably come across a few of these, Edison Battery Oil bottles. The oil was poured on top of the caustic soda solution to help prevent evaporation in hot weather and desert climates. We have found all of these - none were purchased. Interesting that we've only found one in light aqua.
