Lucky Find - 4/18/2003 8:42:28 PM    Guest HELLO ALL, I' M A NEW MEMBER HERE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO AN EDUCATIONAL EXCHANGE OF INFO. I THINK I SCORED BIGTIME! I HAVE GAINED ALMOST EXCLUSIVE ACESS TO THE DUMP SITE OF AN OLD (1930' S) AUTO COURT/ FISHING RESORT THAT IS CHOKED FULL OF OLD BOTTLES. THERE ARE BAZILLIONS OF BOTTLES IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES. IN JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS, I CAME AWAY WITH 3 DOZEN (MOSTLY BOOZE) BOTTLES. I' M GUESSING THEY ARE MOSTLY FROM THE 40' S AND 50' S BUT THEY ARE ALL COOL. THERE IS A TON OF PLAIN/GENERIC BOTTLES BUT I WAS ABLE TO FIND NICELY DETAILED ONES WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT! I FOUND AN OLD? PEPSI BOTTLE THAT WAS USED FOR FOUNTAIN SYRUP WITH DIRECTIONS ON THE BACK ON HOW TO MAKE SODA, AN OLD JIM BEAM, THAT I CLEANED AND I' M NOW USING, A JOHNSON & JOHNSON LOTION BOTTLE AND PLENTY MORE. I' M ASSUMING THAT BOTTLES WITH DESIGNS AND WRITTING ON THEM ARE MORE DESIRABLE BUT I WANT TO EDUCATE MYSELF AS BEST I CAN SO I KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND WHAT NOT TO WASTE MY TIME WITH. THAT ALL BEING SAID, I LOOK FORWARD TO ANY INPUT FROM ANY OF YOU. I' M NOT THAT COMPUTER LITERATE BUT I AM LEARNING AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO STUMBLE AROUND THIS FORUM. THANKS IN ADVANCE WILL TALK SOON -TRIP   Post #: 1
