Historical figures #2n

George washington

George Washington is another historical figure that I am sure needs no introduction,
but you are going to get one anyway.

George Washington was born in 1732 in the Colony of Virginia and died in the State
of Virginia in 1799. He was appointed commander-in-chief of the Continental Army
during the Revolutionary War and, obviously, he was a very successful commander.
He was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and was the nation’s first
President (1789–1797). The rest you can read about on-line.

The three busts are from Jacquins, USA. There are quite a number of label and
capping variations of the cobalt blue busts but this is the only gold bust I know of.
The jug is from Pick Kwick of the UK. It is one of a set of historical figures jugs.
Anyone know who made the George Washington flask? Let me know if you do. The
next is from Grenadier. I don’t know for sure but I think it may be
a sample bottle. The final bottle on this page is from McCormick.
