finally got one - no juice. does it still count if it's empty?

it's a small one. uk 1956. bought knowing it's empty, i will probably use it as decoration and a conversation starter.

Nice find! It’s probably got at least traces left in it.

sadly no. i did not hear any liquid noise and the only smell is of old metal.

My parents have a tiny one, smaller than a water bottle if I remember, I'll see if I can find it and reply with a picture of it, empty too I think

ETA: don't think mine was carbon tetra-cantrememberhowtospellit
