GINGER BEER STONE BOTTLE


GINGER BEER STONE BOTTLE
I was flicking through some of my unorganised postcards and noticed this picture of an old stone bottle - in this instance it had been used for ginger beer. That reminded me how we used to make ginger beer as kids - happy days!
As for what connection there is between the bottle and the mouse, I have no idea. The reverse of the postcard simply says Photograph by George McCarthy

    It apparently does NOT work against rodents?  ;-)

    Oshi Shikigami I guess you have to keep trying until you find something that does work!

    I am cole friends with WAG, myself. figuring/guessing development times for different film/developer combos at different temperatures always required one...

    The plastic (looking) screw cap says it isn't very old. No more than say 75 years if that.

    Margaret Siemers Could well be 1940s. I do wonder though if the cap was added for the mouse to sit on.

    Nadya Domino He's probably wondering how to get the top off the bottle.

    Yes! it's true. And I feel the same. May we all be young, and impulsive. it is what we all draw upon, as we get older...

    Remembering childhood things as we do here is what ultimately keeps us young at heart and makes life sweeter in the here and now.  The young at heart are happier, healthier, people.
    So being a member here is good for you. lol

    Nadya Domino & Oshi Shikigami & Margaret Siemers  Perhaps the mouse had a headache - I have just read that Sniffing ginger causes sneezing which relieves headaches

    Do mice get headaches, or do they give them?
