Ginger Beer & typwriters

I tend to keep a look out for any Yelf-related items that come up for sale, even if I don't actually end up buying them.  so I was interested to see a Yelf ginger beer bottle advertised recently as one half of a pair. They were going for £15 plus £5 postage which was a bit rich for me so I gave them a miss this time round. Nice looking bottle though...

The second item up for auction is one of Henry Yelf's typwriters. Henry holds several patents in the world of typwriters including the typwriter eraser that I bought a couple of years ago. Here's one of his, now slightly battered, portable typwriters. You can see his nameplate to the left above the keyboard
