Remember the bottle and clouds images I posted earlier as a teaser? Well, now you know where I found them. Its these two images that started this crazy tangent on mine. I was searching for 'Howdy' related stuff on the newspaper archives site and this ad came up for a Charlie Chaplin silent movie titled ...

Shoulder Arms

... which was first released in 1918 and then rereleased in 1927.

This link will tell you more about it ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_Arms


So I did a little research on the film and found the color poster from France that shows the bottle Charlie Chaplin is holding having the cork blown off by a bullet.

Question:

Is it even remotely possible that Hamblett Grigg, who we know was an artist, was also a Charlie Chaplin fan and designed the various bottles and labels as a tribute to him - but inverted Charlie's bowler hat as a subtle means of hiding it? And is it possible that we uncovered Hamblett's secret that he thought no one would discover in a million years? As more than one person said during the course of this thread ...

"Anything is possible"


(I'm not to the end yet - there's one more to follow)
