RE: Lydia's - 12/4/2005 11:37:40 PM    maxmusic   Posts: 18 Joined: 12/4/2005 Status: offline Hi folks, I am a newbie here, but I thought i'd check in with my own lydia which seems to have a slight green tinge to it and the bottom just has c 26 on it. The seam dissappears at the base of the neck. I'd post a pic but I don't know how to operate my stuff and it keeps coming up ' FILE TOO LARGE' !!! max (in reply to Caretaker maine) Post #: 9

RE: Lydia's - 12/5/2005 12:04:12 AM    maxmusic   Posts: 18 Joined: 12/4/2005 Status: offline Thanks Warren, I'll try that next time. I adjusted the quality to standard on my camera but the quality is sure sacrificed. How large of a file am I limited to? max (in reply to Caretaker maine) Post #: 13

My wife dug up several Lydias along with carduii, vinegar, whiskey, petrolium jelly and wine bottles at the site of an early 1900s line house.[house of ill repute].you would be shocked at what some of those concoctions were supposed to do man. _____________________________ 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 Caretaker maine) Post #: 14

RE: Lydia's - 12/5/2005 12:42:51 AM    maxmusic   Posts: 18 Joined: 12/4/2005 Status: offline LOL Warren, I had spent years in the excavation industry in Ct. It was tremendous what i'd dug up and also regrettable what I'd broken with an excavator. Usually if I'd see something in my bucket I'd stop and get out and poke around. some people thought I was crazy, but I thought it was fun. I never knew when I'd find my buried treasure,and retire.... Still looking for it!!!! max (in reply to Caretaker maine) Post #: 15

RE: Lydia's - 12/5/2005 1:04:09 AM    madman   Posts: 4546 Joined: 2/5/2005 Status: offline hey maxmusic, from the pix your bottle looks to be bim id say 1900 1910 , yes your bottle is older, cant say for sure about dollars bottles, but my post is a machine made bottle the newer bottle is narrower and the 14ozs more broad nice subject mike < Message edited by madman -- 12/5/2005 1:08:24 AM > (in reply to Caretaker maine) Post #: 16

RE: Lydia's - 12/5/2005 1:20:31 AM    capsoda Posts: 7506 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline I flew over CT in the back seat of an SR 71 Blackbird a few years back while in the AF. Thought I heard some crunching. _____________________________ 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 Caretaker maine) Post #: 17

RE: Lydia's - 12/5/2005 7:23:51 PM    maxmusic   Posts: 18 Joined: 12/4/2005 Status: offline Thanks for the info Mike. I'd hate to get kicked out of here for stomping on a thread!!!!! I guess I barely made it under the wire with this one!!!! I do think I have some older bottles though, but I'll post them on the appropriate thread! My Lydia doesn't have an oz. designation at all FYI. Warren, An SR71 ehhh! tooo cooool !!!!! I've fllown in a boeing 707 and such... and even jumped out of a perfectly good airplane once --- the MOST memorable experience of my life! That crunching sound you heard was some guy crashing through my excavator window who ejected from an SR71. Anyone you know? max < Message edited by maxmusic -- 12/5/2005 9:28:08 PM > (in reply to Caretaker maine) Post #: 18

RE: Lydia's - 12/5/2005 8:11:10 PM    capsoda Posts: 7506 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Hey Max, I don't think Mike ment you were in the wrong thread, sometimes its hard to tell if bottles of a certain kind were made before or after 1900. Certainly the clear machine made Lydias are post 1900 while the the green or blue bim versions cross over. That was an officer that crashed through your window. I was enlisted and along for a joy ride. I did jump out of a few planes but they were no longer perfectly good. Looking foward to seeing more of your bottles. _____________________________ 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 Caretaker maine) Post #: 19
