(Truth) I know, everyone will say sell it, but It's not that simple. I been collecting for many years and been waiting for this bottle, and now I got it. Money is only money, but this bottle will complete my cape collection and few if any can say that. (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 16

RE: I got one! Rare, Rare, and some more Rare - 9/19/2011 10:37:47 PM    ShowMeStateBottles   Posts: 413 Joined: 7/29/2007 Status: offline Thanks, Jim. I know it's hard for others to get excited about a bottle from a town in Missouri, but in my area this is the one that bottle collectors dream about. Most have never even seen one, heck we have 7 antique stores in Cape and none of them have ever seen one. (in reply to Jim) Post #: 19

Rare, Rare, and some more Rare - 9/20/2011 12:24:55 AM    Jim Posts: 3630 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline I love the local bottles that most people have never seen or heard of. A lot of antique dealers and casual collectors that I know had never even heard of some of the bottles that I have until I showed them mine. It's always fun to be able to show them something they never knew existed.   ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to ShowMeStateBottles) Post #: 20
