A few bottles - 2/18/2005 9:20:12 PM    BCFox40   Posts: 2 Joined: 2/18/2005 Status: offline Hey, I'm new around here and I just wanted to post a few pictures of bottles I've picked up. Some of them do have seams that pass through the lip, and others don't, but I figured it would be better to put everything in one post instead of making individual threads (some forums I've been at before don't like you making too many different threads) Let me know if theres a different way to do things here :) Anyway, I'm not really experienced with bottles or anything, I've just picked up a few at flea markets over the last few years. Sorry about some of the picture qualities, I found it difficult to not have the pictures blur with the digital camera. If anyone could tell me anything about these, that would be great! :) And, if you would like any more information about them like shape and size, I can provide that, too. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 Post #: 1

Thats why you see the horz rings. The Nottingham bottle is Brittish of course, seems like they ship cargo containers of those things over here. American collectors arent really into them too much. People buy for decorations. I'd prefer more Roman and 18th century black glass if possible. Gunther Hess (in reply to BCFox40) Post #: 6

RE: A few bottles - 2/26/2005 6:59:38 PM    snake oil   Posts: 46 Joined: 11/7/2004 Status: offline BCFox , a guy I was working with found a Tonsoline bottle at a job we were working on , about 10 years ago . I offered him 5 bucks for it , but he wouldn't part with it , most guys give me bottles they find (mostly junk) and think I'm a little goofy for taking old bottles home . I like the bottle because of the giraffe , it looks pretty cool . Judgeing from the giraffe and the word Tonsoline , I would guess it was some sort of sore throat remedy . The Bromo Seltzer bottle is very common , I have one , and I would bet everyone else has one too . The Kiehl and Keefer looks like it could be a beer bottle from the early 1900's .

RE: A few bottles - 3/2/2005 3:43:10 PM    BCFox40   Posts: 2 Joined: 2/18/2005 Status: offline Thanks for all the help.. at least I know some things about them, which is cool. I usually decide what kinds to buy based on how they look.. I like some of the kinds that have really vibrant colors, like the Bromo Seltzer one. :P I'm hoping to buy more soon.. I think it's a lot of fun! (in reply to BCFox40) Post #: 14
