Antique Store Find - 2/9/2012 11:39:37 PM    Rockhounder55 Posts: 836 Joined: 7/22/2008 From: Winnemucca, NV. Status: offline I picked up this bottle recently at my local antique store. I don't know anything about it, but I loved it for it's uniqueness, and it's wonderfully intricate stopper. It's about 8" tall. ~Mike Attachment (1) _____________________________ I see dead bottles.............and they're all broken. Post #: 1

I remember as a young child, being driven back from my grandparents' home with bottles of home made ginger beer.
