4 good yard sale bottles - 7/4/2008 12:25:03 PM    beendiggin Posts: 547 Joined: 6/30/2005 Status: offline Picked these up at a yard sale Thursday for 5 dollars total.  Thought they were a good deal for the money.  This blob is The Roessle Brewery / Boston  / tbtbr.  Any info would be great!

Thats what they made, bromo caffeine & Bromo Seltzer.I only have this one left out of all the ones we had as kids.Back then we had no respect for bottles.we did like digging them though Attachment (1) _____________________________ My Blog.Dig story's published in Antique Bottle& Glass Collector.
