COOL Barn Sale Finds - 5/3/2008 2:27:34 PM    madpaddla Posts: 2533 Joined: 12/29/2005 From: The great state of New England Status: offline Hello all: Need some help on a blob. As we were driving around today in some small towns looking for yard sales.  We ended up in a town I grew up in.  Spent some time at this farm that was having a sale.  Asked about bottles and the guy told me to look at all the window.  They were mostly ABM and he was asking $3 each.  But there was tons of bottles all mixed in with the other boxes etc.  Found this PepperSauce for .50 cents and a cool blob Thou Shalt Not Steal appliedl ip etc for $3. So it was a good day.  Asked the guy how old the house was as we were talking about how I spent time here as a kid and he said the house was 1774.  He might let me dig.  Hopefully.  I told him he could keep the bottles I just wanted to dig it.  Anyway he also said he had a bottle that was like an ear of corn.  Are there Repo's of the National bottle?  I would think there are.  Attachment (1) _____________________________ It pays to look down.

There were some clear whiskey bottles shaped like that, but smaller and more squat, at the turn of the century. (in reply to madpaddla) Post #: 12

RE: COOL Barn Sale Finds - 5/3/2008 9:44:28 PM    tigue710 Posts: 1597 Joined: 7/11/2007 From: connecticut Status: offline there are a lot of repros of the ear of corn bottle Ben.  A few Wheaton's and quite a few others also.  I do not know of an exact reproduction though, except for one put out by a bottle club in the 70's that has the club name on it...  if it looks right and has national bitters embossed with the 1866 patent on the base you cant go wrong! _____________________________ When I was just a little young boy, Papa said son, you'll never get far, Tell you the reason, if you wanna know, Cause child of mine, there isn't really very far to go.

RE: COOL Barn Sale Finds - 5/4/2008 7:57:27 AM    Mike O Posts: 452 Joined: 12/26/2005 Status: offline Thou shall not Steal blob beers are not “rare” but they really are not common either. The reason most of them say (THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD) was that the brewer owned the bottles and they wanted them back to recycle and reuse. “What’s old is what’s new! In the hay day with all the breweries popping up the really shady ones would steal others bottles and just stick there label on it. So at some point a few breweries started to try and guilt others into not stealing there bottles and using them for themselves! I hope this little bit of info helps. By the way I collect blob beers, I have close to 500 different Massachusetts blobs and then another 500 from other states and I do NOT have a thou shall not steal one! I like the peppersauce too. And sorry I can’t help you with the ear of corn but seeing as where it is I may think it is original! _____________________________ Some days i'm a digging fool, Some days i'm just a fool digging!

RE: COOL Barn Sale Finds - 5/4/2008 8:38:10 AM    lobeycat Posts: 3452 Joined: 9/8/2003 From: RED SOX Nation Status: online I'm pretty sure the National Bitters bottles where never reproduced and always command a good price. $500-$600 for the ambers and the price shoots up for the colors. There are other figural corn bottles out there that are whiskey's as well as a few in carival glass that are in the $400-$500 range. If you want to sell the S.P. spiral I'd be interested.
