Oh - shessh -- I make one comment about overindulgence, and now all of a 
sudden I get nominated "official taste-tester" . . . hehehe.   

While I'm not a huge object-weniee, I do seem to remember learning in my 
materials and collections handling class that Rule #1 was, "don't eat the 
artifacts"   (Yes-siree, those two years spent getting my master's from Cooperstown 
Graduate Program really paid off.    LOL) 


Besides,   . . . . Passing the bottle to my left . . . . I think Dave (a 
professional conservator) is FAR more qualified to assess the "age" and 
"condition" of the objects than I am.
