Ok... but, who is Davey? Leslie
Hmmm... interesting... however; Queen Victoria married Albert on February 10, 1840 and he passed away only 21 years later in December of 1861. So...
Cool info that I didn’t know!!! Thanks!
Dang! I can't pull it up as I'm not subscribed to the NYtimes! :( Leslie

What a sweet little bottle! I hope you find out more! Leslie
