Story: Yesterday I was shopping at my favorite honey hole and there is the lamp area. Just the typical cheap thrift store lamps. But wait….. notice anything? You need a keen eye….
What’s this? Let’s remove the ugly 1960’s shade and what do we have?
Let’s remove the improvised lamp parts from the 1950’s or 1960’s. A serious fire hazard with a brittle cord, unsealed plug and this lamp was obviously being used as it had a smart bulb in it.
And we find a perfect circa 1860’s / 1870’s 20” BIM, applied lip, 5 gallon, Demijohn.
When I first picked it up it had all the look and feel of eastern US glass and sure enough sitting between a pair of Dyottville whiskeys the color is nearly identical. I’m going with golden olive amber.
I now have the two finest American made Demijohns, both found here in Oceanside California.
Enjoy your Holiday’s
I sure am!
