J R Watkins crate - 8/9/2010 9:05:07 PM    green dragon   Posts: 285 Joined: 4/12/2010 Status: offline Found this  shipping crate at a sale this past weekend. was enroute to a rocket launch ( my other  hangup  ) , and a little town had  a yard sale weekend, so I stopped at a few, found a few bottles, too which will post soon, once I clean and photo them. Paid 15 bucks for the Watkins crate, good buy ?  is it super duper rare ? lol . definately a neat item,  undecided yet on trade or ebay material, or save.. so if someone has an interest ,drop me a note. ~ AL Attachment (1) Post #: 1

However, because the bottles turn up so often, I would fear that the crate might be equally common??? (in reply to green dragon) Post #: 3

(Near scenic Lake Perfidy) Status: offline Are the bottles still in it..., or did they nail it back shut? Pretty cool find, and I'd say for 15.00$ you could hardly go wrong. _____________________________ Joe ``````````````````````````````````` In the woods we return to reason and faith. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooTyuRd9zSg&feature=related (in reply to blobbottlebob) Post #: 4

RE: J R Watkins crate - 8/10/2010 12:19:28 PM    green dragon   Posts: 285 Joined: 4/12/2010 Status: offline No bottles, if full, even though common bottles, it would have been a great find It's not nailed shut, the bottom is opened up for access. I have never seen one, ( course I have not been on the hunt for 30+ years like many here ), so thought it was worth the 15.00 Might try it on Ebay just for grins, have not decided yet. I also got a pretty rough Coke 24 bottle crate from the same elderly woman, for 5 bucks, pics to follow i sodas, once I get my weekend haul photod and ready . ~ AL (in reply to JOETHECROW) Post #: 5
