Box of bottles from estate sale and more - 7/23/2011 10:38:25 AM    ironmountain   Posts: 844 Joined: 10/17/2010 From: Iron Mountain, MI Status: offline I'm up at inlaws to go to the farm and dig with my daughter this weekend. Buddy calls me and says he's looking at a box full of acl bottles and some milks.she wanted less than two bucks a bottle so I told him to just buy it all.I'll get pics up when I get home She also said she has a storage unit with like seven boxes of more acl bottles and milks.she said she also has some really small milks from grand rapids.she called them quarter pints. Same deal as at the sale.one buck for soda two for milks unless we buy them all, ast which point she said shed cut its the same deal as she did at the estate sale. Shes calling me this week. Also, I'll get some pics of the dumps and stuff we're digging up here just to show the enormity of these dumps. Alright time to go get dirty. Post #: 1
