| Description | A clear glass three sided dimpled Haig whisky bottle containing two model ships with a model of a tower, lighthouse in the corner. The wooden model ships both have two masts with full rigging, are flying the red ensign flag and are set in a ‘sea’ of blue painted plaster. The bottle has a red painted stopper and a green painted neck.
This originally belonged to Dr and Mrs Hardy and their daughter Sheilagh. The Hardys lived at ‘Elgin’, Lewaigue, Maughold and it is thought that the Italian internee who made it worked in the market garden at the house. The bottle was taken by the family with them when they emigrated to Australia in 1950 and has been donated by a family friend from Australia following Sheilagh Hardy’s death. |
