Thats me (Capsoda) with the famous Antique Bottles Fourm tee shirt. Forum member George Wallace in the middle and Anthony (T) (Alabottledigger) on the other end. I drew the winning number for the dealers prize pick and George won the $50 prize. How great is that. I can't remember for the life of me what George said his forum name was.

I am going to have to get off my heels and go to one I guess. Haven't been to one since I went to the Louisville show around the middle 70s. I heard that show is no longer, but not sure of that information is correct. (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 10

RE: Mobile, AL bottle show - 4/8/2007 12:52:23 AM    capsoda Posts: 7912 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline I picked up a Coca Cola lamp and one bottle I couldn't leave the show without and it isn't anything great. It is a TRY-ME. The one in the middle. I have never seen one that size (6oz) in 36 years of digging and collecting. Bought it from George. T picked up a handful of bottles and some brushes and I picked up some brushes and a couple of pounds of aluminum oxide. Had a good time with some old friends and made a few new ones. All in all a great time.

RE: Mobile, AL bottle show - 4/8/2007 1:37:39 AM    L C   Posts: 1579 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Is the aluminum oxide very hard to get hold of Warren? I have heard different people in this area with bottle machines that say it is. I have not tried to buy any yet. Also, is it very expensive? I am in the process of attempting to build a bottle machine, and not too up on the cleaning materials yet. Copper has sure scared the devil out of me as for price. Might try thr glass beads I keep hearing about. Also, do you know of any good Crown Top Bottle books on the market. I have a bunch I plan to put on the sight, and may sell many or all of them. I sold around 150 to 200 on eBay over the past couple of years, and still have quite a few.  By the way, I just did a search on eBay pertaining to Oxide, and find that there is different grits or whatever. What kind of Alum Oxide is actuall used? < Message edited by L C -- 4/8/2007 2:12:23 AM > (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 13

RE: Mobile, AL bottle show - 4/8/2007 2:15:54 AM    L C   Posts: 1579 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline John, I think I have a few kist bottles in a crate in the garage. I kind of buried them last fall, while trying to make room to put a car in the garage for the winter. If I can find them I will send you pics to see whether or not you have them. If I can get to them I will check tomorrow. I have other I can get to in my pole building as well, I can get to them to check!! (in reply to bubbas dad) Post #: 15

RE: Mobile, AL bottle show - 4/8/2007 3:43:58 PM    capsoda Posts: 7912 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline I use the fine to polish with. It is about 16 bucks for 2lbs. 2lbs will last quite a while. I use silicon carbide for cutting. You can pick it up at alot of the bottle shows or from the Jar Doctor. I make my copper from scraps I pick up around the hauses my brother builds. _____________________________ 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 bubbas dad) Post #: 19
