Golden Diamond.... Do you know what is in your walls?

Don Ron John is doing some renos in his house.... He came across this llittle jem in the Kitchen wall .. An empty mikey of Golden Diamond Rum. The fine print on the lable says: Licensed by Sandach Parker & Co. Ltd., Demerara British Guiana, McGuiness Maritimes Distillers Ltd. Bridgetown,  Nova Scotia D1 P2A.

What's really neat is the government issue warning lable that was still intact...... Be very very careful!!!! Heed This Warning and Save Paying a Penalty!!!!!
He figures it is circa 1964. The cost: $1.40.

All The Way From Barbados Via Ottawa.....

Barbados is a wonderful place... and they bottle some of the happiness there and send it all the way here... The latest arrival is DOORLY'S X O (the closest thing to a web page we found).
