Here's a picture of Jamie's glass bottle dispaly case taken this morning with some natural backlight, as the cabinet is right in front of one of our windows. We don't raise the blinds all the time, but every now and then, it's nice to see the sunlights effect on the bottles. To answer a question from the last bottle we posted, I must say that Jamie taught me what little I know about bottles. When we first got together, he said, "I collect antique bottles." I kind of shrugged and said, "Do whatever you want, just leave me out of it." I had no interest, and even less after he started going to this nearby old dump and bringing home all this dirty, ugly glass that he loving soaked in our kitchen sink and worked to make look better. The bottles were of little or no value, but he just kept dragging them home. I told him it was ridiculous to have all this ugly mess in our home. Then one day, I came home from work to hear him tell me that he had put a beautiful, cobolt Carter's Cathedral Ink on layaway. I asked him how much the bottle was going to cost and he said it was $55 dollars. Boy, did I throw a fit. $55 dollars for a dirty piece of old glass. I just thought that was ridiculous. Jamie knew the guy he was getting the bottle from and he knew that the guy also collected old books. So he traded him an old book he got from our local library for a quarter when they were selling off all the older books in their collection. A few days later I came home and Jamie told me that he had traded the book and had only had to pay $45 for the bottle. He had it sitting on the mantel over our heater. He pointed it out to me, and I was like "So this is a real antique bottle!" I finally understood that some old bottles can be very beautiful. From there it was little lectures on how to spot a pontiled bottle, a machine made bottle, hutches, blob tops, on and on. He really made me learn these little things until I could quote back to him what certain terms meant and how to spot an old bottle from a fake. I'm still not the best at any of this, but I should have known that over the years he would drag me into this hobby, and I can truly say that because of it I have met some wonderful, kind, and helpful people.
This picture is an overall view of the cabinet of colored bottles in his collection. We'll send closups later. Just did'nt want to clog everything up with 15 pictures at once. If you see something you would like a better view of anything let us know. I'm getting better at getting the pictures on here and will try to do it in a timely manner.
Everybody, I just want to say THANK YOU ALL for all of your help in getting the camera and with how to get the pictures posted here.
PEACE

Status: offline 		ahhhh, Angel you never stood a chance. A bottle person will just keep pointing out the virtues of the same bottle until you see things our way. It's a form of relentless, gentle brainwashing. You've become a Stepford wife of sorts, so just sit back and enjoy the ride. There is no escape, you will be assimilated! My kid, shamefully has no interest in the things but she knows the various forms of pontils and can tell you what bimal stands for.
I see your Carters back there! $45 and a book was a bargin! They sell for three times that today. Probably the most popular and expensive machine made bottle out there! Beautiful display!

Jamie's the one painting all the embossings. He used a water based paint that is easily washed off, but he likes them that way, so since it is his collection, I don't say a whole lot. Only thing I have said is for him to leave my few little bottles alone.

I meant to post a picture that includes the cathedral ink that made me fall in love with antique bottles on the thread, but I put it on a different thread. Anyway, here is that shot for you to enjoy

Status: offline 		Jamie,....!!! Great collection and pics...Hey now,...I'm looking at that amber milk and having some flashbacks. I dug a few of those, in Buffalo NY back in the 80's at the old lead smelting plant dump...On (believe it) FERRY ST! real real bad neighborHOOD then and worse now...carjacking/lose your life bad..Anyhow I'm almost certain that's a Buffalo bottle...How'd it end up in your neck of the woods? I'm pretty certain milk didn't travel that far then or now?....Just sayin'...Real curious... Thanks for sharing your great bottles.                                                                              Joe
