This turned up a few days ago complete with glass stopper that had apparently been stuck in the neck for 125 years. A few days of gentle persuasion and it popped out so I could get to work cleaning the inside. It's coming along nicely [emoji3] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cda409de90.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...494afed1be.jpg

That is very cool!!
You seem to find some very nice and interesting bottles there my friend
That's really nice, love the colour.
That color is fantastic. Great score
Cool! Wait til Hirlau sees that!
Aloha!
Magnifique! Congrats on the acquisition.

You know those old blue Pinaud bottles were dyed with a rare African dye made from the Tsetse fly which when stoppered like that forms a gas that once the cap is popped you ingest and that combined with the handling and it's always fatal.
Immediately double wrap it in plastic and send it to me before it's too late. I'll know how to take care of it.
Har har.
That's a beauty Bongo. :tu
John/Hirlau will be sending in a covert extraction/black ops team for that.
They are already in place, waiting for Bongo to take his nap. That way we can extract it without any loss of life.
Is it really worth the trouble just to add it to your collection of the 20 or so exact bottles that you probably already have stashed? :rofl2:Quote:

He makes me drop a $20 in his PayPal account, just on see photos of his latest additions.
My bottle collection is up to ONE. :rofl2:Quote:

Well Sir, I am surprised! Here I thought you were the King of Pinauad, and I actually thought that you owned shares in the company! Good on Bongo, but I know you'll supersede him someday! ;)Quote:

It's only a rumor, if it were true, Hirlau would have some sort of accident never to be heard from again for even making such a suggestion.
Or I would wake up to a capless bottle of Vegetal in my bed. :shrug:Quote:

I have the fine vintage bottle, filled with the modern stuff.
It resides in my 'barber shop' .
Got the bright idea to sprinkle a bit in an old brass spittoon I have in there.....Barbershop aroma, right?
You CANNOT unscrew the lid, sprinkle a bit, close it up without enduring a 2-day vegetal disease! It permeates the nose. somehow makes it to the lips. Makes the whole face numb!
Great stuff, that! :rofl2:
Wow, what a great score. Not sure if you want to go to this much trouble, but it would be really cool to identify the labels that came on the bottle and frame them.
Pete123, that would probably be the Eau de Quinine but hard to say. The bottle itself would've been clear glass before turning lavender-coloured.Quote:
