Stepped up for this

[Bixel]

Saw this piece on Ebay a couple weeks ago on a 10 day auction. Its an "M Bixel & Sons, Lager Beer, Strathroy , Brantford". Aqua quart. Size was the reason I had to step up to get this one. These quarts are TOUGH in this bottle, the pints are fairly common. This may be the first of this size and embossing I have seen offered for sale. There are very few out there, but all locked in collections. Dug bottle. Arrived with dirt still in the bottom and dirt in the lettering. Needs a bath. Should look good after a soak. Best piece I have added in a few years to the Strathroy collection!

Kinda like ice cream, tuna etc.Remember when a ½ gallon of ice cream was 64 oz.s. Now it's 46, down from 54 and I think and still cost more. Tuna is at the point I have to throw all my recipe books away, calls for 7 oz and come in 5. Can't quite half or double anything there.. []Ice cream, okay but I want my tuna recipes to work without cutting cans into 3rd's and stuff.[][]I do have a hack saw but still. [][][]
