Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 My Uncle is cleaning out my Aunt's house (she died in December) and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but Niece had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to "sprinkle" clothes with, because we didn't have steam irons.
