Bottle Wall - 11/2/2008 8:08:25 PM    ktbi Posts: 981 Joined: 6/7/2007 From: Vacaville, Ca. Status: offline I finally decided to put up a display for some of my favorites.  This wall is a half wall separating the kitchen/living room from the family room.  It's funny how you forget which bottles you have or what they look like when you store them in boxes in the garage. About a third of these I helped dig in the 60's/70's and inherited them from my grandfather about fifteen years ago. Thnks for looking.....Ron Attachment (1) _____________________________ Will Buy/Sell/Trade for for Kidney Embossed Bottles Post #: 1

Status: offline Thnks for the comments all...and Lobey - I am near a minor fault line, but this part of California isn't really an earthquake prone place, and they are actually quite securely tacked down with some stuff my wife picked up.  Not really worried about it cause if it shakes off the shelf now, they wouldn't have been much safer in the garage......Ron _____________________________ Will Buy/Sell/Trade for for Kidney Embossed Bottles (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 8

RE: Bottle Wall - 11/3/2008 9:58:11 AM    ktbi Posts: 981 Joined: 6/7/2007 From: Vacaville, Ca. Status: offline Thanks again for comments....Cobaltbot - I moved bottles from shelf to shelf until I got what looked 'balanced'.  It took awhile and happy to know it was noticed.  Jamie, the green medicine is Dr. Fernando Barcelo and it was a surprise.  I bought a lot of about six bottles a couple of years ago to get something else.  This one was in the lot and I liked it, especially the color. Can't even remember what I was originally after. 77 - the purple cathedral is a dug bottle from the 60's.  Had it a long time - 2 of them actually.  About a third, maybe a little more, are dug.  I don't dig anymore so have to rely on shows, ebay, yard sales, and such.....Ron Attachment (1) _____________________________ Will Buy/Sell/Trade for for Kidney Embossed Bottles (in reply to 77waystodeal3) Post #: 12

RE: Bottle Wall - 11/3/2008 11:45:38 AM    ktbi Posts: 981 Joined: 6/7/2007 From: Vacaville, Ca. Status: offline Hi Tim,  One shelf is Nevada bottles.  The five on the left are G.C. Thaxter, Carson City and the five on the right are A.M. Cole, Virginia City.  I have about 80 total from Nevada, but most of them are clear meds and aren't really impressive looking in a big display.  Give me a call sometime and come on over.  You mentioned you had a couple of Vacaville Drug and I have a few Norcal Medicine.  Lets make some trades trades.....Ron Attachment (1) _____________________________ Will Buy/Sell/Trade for for Kidney Embossed Bottles (in reply to Wilkie) Post #: 14

RE: Bottle Wall - 11/3/2008 2:08:54 PM    Wilkie Posts: 1200 Joined: 5/2/2008 From: Suisun City, CA Status: offline I have 3 of those A.M. Coles.  I had 4 but one was a duplicate.  I sold it and made up my cost for all four of them and still made a profit.  I picked 'em up at that big antique co-op up in Rocklin, right off of I80 for about 5 bucks a piece.  _____________________________ https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/111503655528237/ I buy samples, Jamaica Gingers from anywhere and Northern California hutches, blob tops.
