"Why have a bottle when ya can have a case" Dunville & Co's whisky case[1900]

Hi all,We all seem to be a bit flatoff with Easter appoaching.On the way home, i stopped to help a mate move a car into a garage.Well i noticed this box on shelf.asked "Where did ya get that.

About 25 years ago he made is wife climb up a trash dump to get it"Thats been in and out of a few sheds.Lol.Then i was told i could have it.

In my opinoin the box first came from one the local hotels in 1900 and there was 242 of them . lol The whisky case was from Belfast.,Irland and importerd to Australia around 1900.

Here's a real cool Link about the Devilles and thier distillary.

Ask him if he wants to get rid of her.
Tell him I'll trade a 1950 hercules bike, or a '59 Raleigh club racer. LOL!

Nice find.
