Roger Vaughn for enthusiastically tracking down several of these gaffes.

Now I
wonder what Mr Joseph A Winterholer
had to say about this one??? |
 |
 |
Many
of you will be familiar with the "Merry
Christmas" glasses produced every year from 1899
through 1914 by Andrew M. Smith of Minneapolis, Minnesota. |
|
The business resided at 247-249 Hennepin except,
apparently, in 1910 when it moved three blocks further up
the street to 547-549 Hennepin??? |

The
"Old Hickory" glass at left is one of the first
I acquired when I started collecting shots. It comes
from the Breslauer Co of Milwaukee WI. I've looked
at the glass many times in the past 15 years and never
ONCE noticed the mis-spelling of
"Milwaukee". It took eagle-eyed Roger
Vaughn to point this one out to me. The most amazing
thing is that the error is duplicated on the baby
version of this shot!! |

Now here's
a nice little glass - only ever seen a couple of
these. Nice picture of a jug of K-A whiskey but hey,
wait, what's that say in teeny print on the jug's
label? |
 |
|
Hand Made
Cabinet Boubben???
..........say "oooops" Bubba! |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
So which is it "Cuban"
or "Cuben" or "Cuban"
or "Cuben"????? |
 |
We don't
need a magnifying glass for either of these two either
because the gaffes are right out there - in the left
corner, Comin Through the Rye "Drigo" Absolutely
Straiyhey wait a minute, doesn't that say DIRIGO??? |
 |
|
and in the
right corner at 357 pounds, a souvenir from the
world-famous J.J.Douglasssssssss Company (that would be
Jim J.Douglas) of Louisvillee, Kentuckyyy. Someone
clean my bifocals, P-LEASE |
