    Demijohn

    I recently got this old Demi and was wondering if I could get some info on it, like age, where it was possibly made etc. I'm pretty sure it's an old one, hopefully early 1800s. sorry for the bad photos, my computer crapper out on me so I'm just using my cell phone.

    Strange Warners Bottle

    I saw this bottle today and Ive never seen a Warners without the blob like top on it. Is this a repro because Ive also never seen the oz label on the front either.
