Fathers Day calabash

[moonman]

Daughter surprised me this morning with this 1906 LGER calabash made in Chester, England. She found it in an antique store in Clearwater, Florida.

You are a very lucky man indeed. Out of three kids, and a wife, no one here remembered what today was. At least I got some time today in the garden today for the Solstice. :|

Moonman, what a great piece of history not to mention awesome find. I love all the makers marks and proof marks in the silver work. You obviously have very thoughtful and generous daughter .
