    I eyed this photo at a thrift store for a while-- quite a large (framed) portrait of an elderly Great Dane. It never sold, and they never lowered the price ($6!?)

    I liked him enough to adopt him.

    The zip-code on the back (label) of the portrait is a primitive type. It's a type of area code, once used in many cities. It was replaced in 1963 with a more modern type of ZIP.

    I've been playing with a new editing program, in which I added a little colour to the grey image and removed the glare of the glass as best I could. Photo one is my final product.

    Not sure what I'll do with it. Currently he guards my door.

      I have had 2 of these Regal Lugs, in my earlier years. They were originally bred as war dogs, then guard dogs, and back and forth. The final result in the late 60's produced a big ole 150 lb.,To 200 lb., baby lover lug, that you could trust to watch a church mouse. My bitch had 14 puppies on her first breeding, that fetched 3, to 4 hundred bucks per puppy, to a good home only. I'm now an american pit bull owner, and have been for years now. PS: I love all God's creatures, except for king cobras, and bamboo vipers ! Ask Me Why!

      Hey SpiritBear I was wondering if you have any information on a Pluto Water America Physic aqua water bottles Were they paper labelled? What the #4 means on the bottom and aprox. age ? It is a regular pop top not cork. Thank you.

      Caper Kid, yes, they were laxative tonics that were around for many years and typically had only shoulder and base embossing with a paper label between them. I am unsure of the number 4 on it. It could be a mould number from the glasshouse that made it. I would have to see the bottle to approximate an age. If the seams on the side stops before the top, it is likely before 1920. If not, it is likely after 1915. All depends on which glasshouse made them. If the seam stops at a solid even ring around the top, it is likely after 1915.
      They go back to the very early 1900s, were of great popularity in the 1910s and 1920s, and continued long enough to have screw-top bottles.
      Here are some labeled examples from Google:
