"ATTIC JAKES" and OLD FRIENDS

An old friend of mine stopped by yesterday to shoot the breeze and catch up on news after a busy summer.
He was cleaning out an attic a couple of weeks ago and happened across these three Jamaica Gingers. The bottles, a beautiful Hostetter's Pittsburg, a McMillan & Kester and a Lyon's with complete label, were in what the auction houses call "attic mint".

After an enjoyable visit my friend started to leave and said "I know how much you like these old bottles, why don't you keep them for your collection"
There's nothing like old friends!
