Status: offline 		In response to busskutt033's quote "you're gonna need a bigger shelf ", I need to reply YES I DO!

I am at my wit's end as I have scoured the internet to no avail,  I have been unable to locate a suitable display cabinet. I am approaching the 400 bottle mark and at best, my display can be described as a cluster $@#&!

I will probably be leaving Dodge soon, so the concept of built-in's aren't an option. Perhaps someone out there can point me in the right direction as to where I  find a quality cabinet that is specifically designed to accommodate our most valued and prized possessions?

I figured that 400 bottles on an average of 3" per bottle with suitable spacing will require about 100 linear feet. Taking into account that about 200 of my bottles are 6" or less and the rest are about 12", I figure I'll need....an architect and an engineer to lay this out. Any ideas?

Thanx in advance and I wish everyone the best. Gary

Status: offline 		All that milk glass looks eerie..but in an awesome way. As for display cabinets, there is an antique mall in Green Bay who has plenty of empty cabinets on the 2nd floor. Perhaps if you know of any antique malls around, they may have the same and be willing to sell you one.

My heart just skipped a beat.  I just noticed you have a KU-22 in milky goodness.   Oh I want it....

Status: offline 		I had a 'Custom Cabinet Maker' from your neck of the woods as a matter of fact , give me a hand with my kitchen. He butchered my butcher block counter top, dropped a new farm sink on the new bamboo floor and did about $1500.00 worth of damage! This POS actually took the sink and placed it against the wall so you couldn't see the missing corner out of it and then moved the tarp to cover the damage to the floor. I'll send you the pics!

I wouldn't buy anything that wasn't already made and subject to my inspection. My level of acceptability is substantially higher than most. Thanx for thinking of me, Gary

I really don't consider that to be a true poison bottle. This Oreste's purportedly contained a poisonous cosmetic lotion of some sort and I don't really think that makes it a poison. There's no warning on the bottle and it even states that it prolongs or restores a youthful appearance. Hmmm, doesn't embalming fluid have a similar effect?  LOL  Gary

Just dig it, Yes, it is the same, tho I never seen one in person, just his and probably the one he is mentioning in that old auction lot. It's very rare. Even tho it may not actually had poison in it, it was the same design and mold as the cobolt, so it kinda belongs in the family.

I will meet you in the middle in regard to the categorization of the same. This one pictured on the left though IS a poison. If anyone is interested, there is a dug irradiated example that I might be able to get my hands on. Gary
