Nip in the rafters
Looks like Maryellen has been hitting the sauce again. I found this up in the rafters of the barn the other day.
It says, "Mount Vernon/Pure Rye Whiskey", and on the other side, "The Cook & Bernheimer Company/Full Quart/Refilling of this Bottle Prohibited."
My first reaction was that I had unearthed a rare treasure worth millions. But alas, some guy named Wayne is selling one for $20.
On the other hand, our friend Hilary was over at the house last night for dinner, and he said $20 is pretty good for an old bottle. Now if I could only find 49,999 more out there in the barn, I'd have my million bucks.
