More Sailor Jerry Souvenirs
/
I've posted before about our wonderful Sailor Jerry shower curtain, adorned with sheets of his flash work. The other Sailor Jerry items we own therefore look best in the bathroom, & here they are! We have two old bottles from our drinking days. Sailor Jerry rum was my husband's poison of choice & these are two souvenirs from those hedonistic times. The bottles themselves have a classic vintage styling. The inner side of the back label is always printed with one of Jerry's pin up girl tattoo designs. The playing cards & glass were a freebie from my old friend John, who worked in The Rotterdam Bar down at the docks in Belfast.
The bar is situated in the area nicknamed "Sailor Town" & was terribly quaint. I believe it closed recently due to redevelopment plans of the area, but I could be wrong. The mug is in fact a Vince Ray illustration, but worth including. Bought in the tattoo parlour in St.Stephen's Green, Dublin.
