I'll admit right off that my memory isn't what it used to be. I think that at one time I knew what the so-called "Carrie Nation" bottle originally held. My rapidly-fading memory tells me that I once read that the bottle did not actually represent Carrie Nation (Carrie carried a hatchet, not an umbrella.)
The lady next door, my best friend's wife, wanted me to look at a bottle that had belonged to her late mother. Sure enough, it was a Carrie Nation. I have one, but had not thought of it for 30 years (that's when we crated our collection to move to our present abode - most of the bottles are still crated.)
Thinking that one of my (by now, antique [
] ) bottle books told about "Carrie," I promised to dig up some info for her. Lo and behold! Nothing in my books.
Can anyone help me with some info?
Thanks,
Dave
