Hi again,

Here's another bottle I was hoping someone could help me with:
It's a commemorative bottle, but I was hoping someone could help with the translation on the other side?
Also, is it possible that this was also painted by Liu Shouben?

Thanks for any help,

Rube.

Dear Rube,

     These were made very cheaply, by Michael Kaynes-Klitz, who founded the HK CSBS.
He tried to outflank the ICSBS, but his was a for-profit.
     Doubtful Liu Shouben painted it.
Best,
Joey

Dear Albert,
 
     I was a member of the HK Society before I joined the ICSBS.
I joined the HK Society in 1971 and stayed a member till 1978.
I joined the ICSBS in 1974 [at age 17], and am still a member, 44 years later...
Best,
Joey
