Interstate Chemical Co. Blackberry Cordial - 2/28/2008 9:34:27 AM    cobaltbot Posts: 1727 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: online Recently picked up this Baltimore bottle at an indoor antique mall for $9.  It's listed in the Baltimore bottle book as uncommon.  They don't mention the I.C.Co. banner logo embossed on the bottle, but it's probably the same bottle.  Attachment (1) _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back....

RE: Interstate Chemical Co.

Status: offline Thank's for the info on the Interstate bottle Steve. Would have never guessed in a million years that bottle held Blackberry Cordial. I thought it held some kind of chemicals. Thanks a lot Steve!! _____________________________ Gary (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 6

Sounds like Boone's Farm Blackberry Cordial! I don't think they started the "what's in it" label listing until later except for alcohol. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 8
