:/ - 9/18/2005 2:17:35 PM    SkatKat   Posts: 7 Joined: 8/18/2005 Status: offline Ahem, what did you do with my post? I spent hours getting those pics ready. If its in the wroing spot maybe you could have just moved it? And perhaps HISTORIS GLASS BOTTLE IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION isnt the best title for this forum, if your dont want people to put things to be identified here? Im really unhappy about this, i spent many hours preparing that post and taking pics, and i dont have the bottle info written down anymore. Post #: 1

RE: :/ - 9/18/2005 6:45:51 PM    jfcutter Posts: 54 Joined: 10/27/2004 From: Beautiful Klamath Falls, Oregon Status: offline The name "Historic Glass Bottle Identification & Information" pertains to a government website called the "Historic Glass Bottle Identification & Information Website" , i.e. website got left out on the title of that thread. That category was started to discuss the website only, not specifically to be a general posting area for bottle identification questions. It is my website, but I had no control over the name of the category. Your point is well taken however as many other people have seen that title and posted general query questions there that should more appropriately be in one of the "What is it?" sections further up the Forum page. I'll try to contact Roger and see if the name can be altered a bit. Thanks! _____________________________ Bill Lindsey - Klamath Falls, OR.

BLM Bottle Website... - 9/19/2005 7:27:30 PM    jfcutter Posts: 54 Joined: 10/27/2004 From: Beautiful Klamath Falls, Oregon Status: offline Hi again SkatKat.... Since I am not an administrator of the site I can do nothing beyond what you can, which is post messages. You would have to request such from Roger the site administrator (link at the top of each page I think). Sorry, would like to help but impossible. However, I did contact Roger last night and he already changed the name of the section to the "Historic Glass Bottle Website" which is more narrowly focused sounding to just about the BLM website itself, which was the point of the category when Roger established it. Thanks for the comment and good luck in your quest for information. Take a look at the BLM website itself if you get a chance (link at the bottom of this message). It can help you in a general way with the dating and ID of bottles. However, since there were probably several hundreds of thousands of different bottles produced in the 19th through mid-20th century, there is no one website, or book, or person that could know about anything but a small fraction of that total. Thus, the utility of Antique-Bottles.net....a forum for asking questions. It is a GREAT site...thanks Roger! Bill Attachment (1) _____________________________ Bill Lindsey - Klamath Falls, OR.

Skatkat May I suggest you visit the first entry on the forum page. You will find this most imformative for navigatig around here. Most people here will be willing to help you with most anything, but none of us are administratively connected with the site, nor are we here to solely price bottles for entrepreneurs. Good luck and I will see you around the forum. Ep Bill, I have used your site extensively I my research for quite some time now. You have educated me greatly over the past year and I owe you a debt of gratitude. I use to live in roseburg and sunderland after the VN war. My old army pal still lives out there. He is a superviser with Lane Electric Co. Living in Pleasant Hills. Thanks again.

RE: :/ - 1/24/2007 9:05:48 PM    jfcutter Posts: 54 Joined: 10/27/2004 From: Beautiful Klamath Falls, Oregon Status: offline Hi all.... I do tend to not check in that often with A-B.net unless a message is posted to the Historic Bottle Website (HBW) forum...I have it set to be automatically notified when that happens.  Like the emails today. I want to thank "epgorge" (Joel) and "GuntherHess" (Matt) for their compliments on the HBW...thanks!!   It has - and will continue to be long into the future - a labour of love (to use Canada-speak). We are not far from Roseburg here in Klamath Falls, but it is off the beaten track going anywhere from here so don't get there very often....a few times to the BLM office. Not much else to add here except to note that the HBW is also "mirrored" on my own server (at my own domain!) now in addition to it being on the BLM's.  The one on my server is identical, except that I can - and do - update it whenever I make a change, whereas the BLM server (and the government security hysteria I have to deal with) is updated only about every week or two. It is at this URL on my server:  http://bottleinfo.historicbottles.com That's it for now............Bill _____________________________ Bill Lindsey - Klamath Falls, OR.

RE: :/ - 2/13/2007 1:51:30 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Bill, I know your area well as I use to work for Roseburg, Veterans Administration. I lived in Sunderland, Oakland, and Eugene and still visit my best freind from the war years who lives in Pleasant Hills. In fact, I use to live at Ken Keasey's house before it burnt to the ground. I get out your way once or twice a year and would love to look you up, if you didn't mind. I would love to pick your brain. Joel _____________________________ (in reply to jfcutter) Post #: 12

RE: :/ - 2/13/2007 7:51:25 PM    jfcutter Posts: 54 Joined: 10/27/2004 From: Beautiful Klamath Falls, Oregon Status: offline I would be most glad to connect with you next time your Out West Joel!  I don't know how much brain I have left to "pick" given it's ever shrinking and dysfunctional operation, but it's yours for the asking.  I also have rainbow trout fishing in the back yard of our cabin on the river about 25 miles north of town...if interested in that kind of diversion. Picture of a backyard fish included (29" long) below (I hope)....yes, it is bragging but I can't help it....with fish in particular. (And yes that is actually a rainbow trout...not a salmon or steelhead.)

RE: :/ - 2/13/2007 9:01:48 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Bill, Bottles and fish? I am there. Funny how interests run. I am an ultralite fanatic. Hitting those kind of fish on UL is unbelievable. I too live on a piece where I can spit into the river from my backporch. 24 1/2 inch is the biggest I have measured, but, oh those that got away....... They were the biggest. Nice fish. I will send you a picture of the one caught last season. Now we are pulling them out of the lake under 15 inches of ice. Joel _____________________________ (in reply to jfcutter) Post #: 14

RE: :/ - 2/14/2007 7:54:59 PM    jfcutter Posts: 54 Joined: 10/27/2004 From: Beautiful Klamath Falls, Oregon Status: offline Hi again Joel... Oh, I'm with you too on the ultralight fishing and love it.  I do some UL jig fishing (my own tied & designed jigs of craft fur and other items) for the big trout in the Klamath Lake system just above town.  The river behind our cabin is the Williamson - the main tributary to Klamath Lake - and has lots of the big trout, though they don't get big by being stupid.  They are hard to catch.  One of the ways to catch them is the subtle drifting of jigs imitating the baitfish in the system (real bait fishing is prohibited in the rivers) and 4 lb. line is as high as I go.  Instead, I use a long (9' now) limber spin rod to keep line control and to forgive the light line weight.  I've caught several around 10 lbs. (30") that way.  Ultra-light is the way to go and quite effective...as well as big fun.  Fly fishing also works well.... Bill p.s. Love to see a picture of your "ice fish!" < Message edited by jfcutter -- 2/14/2007 7:55:55 PM > _____________________________ Bill Lindsey - Klamath Falls, OR.

RE: :/ - 2/14/2007 8:48:42 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline I use a Fenwick single, 4'6" rod with Shimano Ultra light rod. 4lb. test. Many get lose but oh what a fight. When those big boys hit, it's like getting thrown into a spin while driving down the road. You have to react correctly, quickly. That is why I like the Shiimano as it has the quick switch trigger for drag. We slammed them through the ice the other day. We ran out of minnows and had to trek to the country store to get some more. I didn't get any pictures though my cousin did and I will get some of those for you. Here is one that came out of my gorge here in East Poultney. 23 1/2, but look at that smile. I remember the Williamson. Not an easy river to fish. I just had an email come in and I think it is the photo of the other day. One of the guys fishing with us caught a 19 lb. Northern Pike.

RE: :/ - 2/14/2007 9:50:17 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Bill, One more off topic and I will return to the obsession of bottles. Here is picture of me during the 05 deer season with a nice eight pointer (yeah it would be a four pointer out there, if you had whitetails). It’s a rough picture of me as I had just had my last weekly hit of Chemo the day before. I don't look like that anymore, in fact I am posting apicture in "who's that guy thred" so those in Somerswherever will recogiae me. Anyway back to the hunt. I was weak and sick and the wife was not too happy about me heading up on the ridge. After getting up and getting ready early, I decided towaited for her to go to work so I could have a ride up the hill to the farm. It's about a mile up the mountain. The ridge I wanted to be on was about 3 clicks from there.  She had been gone about 2 minutes aafter dropping me off and I had walked about 50 yards, and there they were silhouetted against the sunrise. Ahh, it was a gift from God. It was a much-needed lift for me at the right time. Now back to our regularly scheduled program. Bill, I will definitely look you up when I come out west this summer.
