This is an interesting one. It is embossed "patent" on one of the end panels:

This is my favorite. Surely with the stars and all it would repel the most nefarious witch.

Remember the Alaska story? The Jesse Moore Hunt is the tall whiskey at the right front of the second picture. The Hunyadi Janos is in the fourth picture, at the very back on the right, just peeking from behind another bottle.

Thanks for the kudos. Our collection reflects my own personality: Jack of all trades, master of none. []

Oh, please don't. You know those government protective services; they're like a tar baby - once they touch you you can't get loose. (I hope you have all read Uncle Remus.) I can assure you that, while the collection did suffer sensory deprivation, they were packed very snugly, no cracks or chips. In any case, bottles are like dogs - they'll forgive most anything. They just want love. [sm=lol.gif]

Looks like you have a nice variety of bottles plus some pottery and other items of interest ombudsman . They definitely deserved to be taken out of the mothballs and put into the light of day . Like the grenades really well , in all my years of collecting , I never did dig one of them .

Me either. We dug those with the silver pick.
