Booze - how it gots name

A slight diversion from the Parian posts as promised and a fast little tidbit.

August 1942 Hobbies:

The original whiskey bottle was made by a man by the name of Booz. That is how whiskey first came to be called "booze", and hence the term, Booz bottles.

Speaking of whiskey, we have two Kessler Whiskey plastic signs for collectors with some bidding activity, I misidentified the birds as pheasants in the one (you can scroll down to the bottom of that one to see where I am called out on my error in the questions area).
