Category Bottle Pattern or Item Soda Description J.j. Steinhilber, Flushing, Pa., Blob Top, 9 In. Year 1997 Price $0.15 But I think they go for somewhere around $5 - $10 depending on its conditon and/or if someone wants it real bad.  Enjoy it.  I have the sickness also. madpaddla _____________________________ It pays to look down.

I have noticed that weird pricing thing on the Kovels site. It gave me a price of 87 cents on a rare poison bottle . 87 DOLLARS would not have even been close. I never put much stock in Kovels' prices, but that must be a site glitch of some kind! ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to madpaddla) Post #: 5

I do know a guy who had one attached to his bag and I am not talking bowling bag here. Freaked him out. They like to get in between places to attach. I did go to bed with the old girl one night after making Habaneiro sauce. Wow!!! That was a night to remember!!!! Joel _____________________________ (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 9

RE: Found my first blob top - 3/25/2007 11:14:51 AM    Jim Posts: 2294 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline !!! Now I will definitely be checking myself closely after digging! I have seen a few ticks, but have never had one attach itself to me. Glad to hear that you removed the little parasite safely. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 11

RE: Found my first blob top - 3/29/2007 7:51:04 PM    Jim Posts: 2294 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline Tall blobs generally date from the 1880s to the early 1900s. That is a good era to dig in. Good sodas, beers, inks, poisons and maybe even a decent bitters. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to hed11877) Post #: 15
