Impressed Demijohns

[oz-riley]

Hey all,
I had trouble choosing my most favorite item and it came out a draw between these two.
First is a large sized Impressed Demijohn from
J. Rooney, Wine & Spirit Merchant, Warrnambool. and second,
Powell Orr & Goldie, PPY LD, Port Fairy. (note the spelling error in Pty).
Warrnambool and Port Fairy are in Victoria Australia, Warrnambool is my home town and I have a rather large collection of Warrnambool and surrounding towns bottles, ephemera etc...
Enjoy...
Chris.

they are very nice,
I can' t decide what my favorite item is, very hard question.
I may have to post one from several different types of bottles, how many favorites can you have [] .

Ha! I wish I had found these in a creek,
I had to fork out hard earned coinage for these two.
One from a local auction house and the other turned up on ebay.
As far as I know these are the only example of each of these known. (as soon as I say this people will come out of the woodwork saying " Hey I have one of those!" ).

Irish and Oz-riley- you should be able to hazard a guess as to what my favourite ginger beer is!

Cheers!
