Kidney Bottle Collection - 5/3/2010 5:58:32 PM    ktbi Posts: 633 Joined: 6/7/2007 From: Vacaville, Ca. Status: offline I finally got around to getting pictures of my Kidney Embossed Bottles.  As a few of you know, I had both of my kidneys removed and lived on Dialysis for a year before I got a transplant - so I turned that into collecting bottles with the word 'Kidney' embossed on them. I'm always looking to add to my collection, so please let me know if you are aware of different ones for sale.  They are on photobucket:  http://s766.photobucket.com/albums/xx309/nvbottles/Bottles/  Here is one of my favorites: Dr Elmores - Kidney is hard to see with all the embossing on the bottle.  Thanks and enjoy.....Ron Attachment (1) _____________________________ Will Buy/Sell/Trade for for Kidney Embossed Bottles Post #: 1

RE: Kidney Bottle Collection - 5/4/2010 12:54:46 PM    Plumbata   Posts: 629 Joined: 12/4/2007 Status: offline That is a righteous collection! I'm sorry about the root cause which led you to this focus, but dang you really made the most of it! I have a few questions about the "Reid's German Cough & Kidney Cure" bottles. They are from Peoria, the town I collect, and I have only managed to get one of them, the 5 5/8th inch size. The one I have is embossed "Kidndy" which is odd, but I don't know if that was embossed on all of that size or if the mistake was fixed afterward. How is kidney spelled on the Reid's bottles you have? I'm not holding my breath, but if you have any extras of those bottles I would be extremely interested. Again, nice stuff! _____________________________ Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest.

I had no idea there were so many "Kidney" embossed bottles out there. That little citron "Pierce's Tablets" bottle is superb!!! Great color on that one. (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 8

RE: Kidney Bottle Collection - 5/5/2010 5:00:35 PM    ktbi Posts: 633 Joined: 6/7/2007 From: Vacaville, Ca. Status: offline Bill - Thanks - I agree, I really like that one. Stephen - I only have two 5 3/4 and 7 1/4.  Kidney is spelled correctly on both. Do you have any of the trading cards?  I attached a photo of the ones I have. Reid's bottles are hard to find.  These are the only two I've seen. I will keep watching and pick up one for you if I see one. Jamie - I left out the Kilmer's because the picture was fuzzy.  Took a look and realized it was the bottle that was fuzzy.  I have several so will include it later. Thanks for looking...I'm proud of the collection, it took awhile and still trying to add to it.....Ron Attachment (1) _____________________________ Will Buy/Sell/Trade for for Kidney Embossed Bottles (in reply to junkyard jack) Post #: 9

I'll keep my eyes peeled.    Anthony-J. _____________________________ I found the Red Road through the valley of the shadow of death....and along the way,found some really cool bottles (in reply to ktbi) Post #: 10
