Ye Olde Pub Handle is one of many from
McLech. This one with, of course, a Carnival
scene.

The final Carnival bottle I have to show you is
a super rare blown glass piece from
Rynbende. This is probably a 1930's bottle
and would be the pride of any collectors
blown glass collection.

That's all the Carnival bottles I know about
and all that appear on Miniature Bottle
Library. If you do know of any more send a
picture to me at kolitim73@gmail.com or to
David at MBL at minibottlelibrary@gmail.com

SAINT BRENDAN'S IRISH CREAM LIQUEUR

There is nothing special about the bottle on the right. I always
wanted one after reading the book 'The Brendan Voyage' and
finally picked one up in a second hand shop in Woodville. The book
tells the tale of a bunch of Britains who set out to prove that Irish
monks could have sailed to America one thousand years before
Columbus.

St. Brendan is the most
famous of these monks and his
name appears numerous times
in books written by the monks
in the seventh and eighth
centuries.

The group set out to build
a leather boat similar to
that used by the monks in
the sixth century. They actually found a leather company
that used the same methods of leather making from five
hundred years ago ( I always knew the English were a bit
slow). They finally make their boat and set off. They first
sail to Iceland, then Greenland and finally America. The
hard part is coming back as they are against the prevailing
winds.

I have no idea what the cream liqueur tastes like.
