My Sons collection - 8/21/2007 10:47:56 PM    craigc90 Posts: 654 Joined: 8/17/2004 From: Bloomingdale Ohio Status: offline I was at a yard sale a few weeks ago and found this curio for $20.00. I knew it would be perfect for my 9 year old sons collection. I collect local blob beers and sodas and I trade off or sell my milks and meds and stuff well he usually steals the bettter stuff befor I can get rid of it. I think he has a good start.

RE: My Sons collection - 8/22/2007 10:28:45 AM    logueb   Posts: 1384 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Craig, That is a truly awesome collection for a 9 year old.  Just imagine what it will look like when he's my age.  This collection will need another curio soon so be on the look out for another one.  I'm glad that you and Zane have passed the bottle bug down to your kids. It's a great hobby and it's great exercise.  Too many kids today want to sit in front of a TV or Video game. Tell Ty to keep up the good work and good luck digging. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight. (in reply to Tony14) Post #: 8

RE: My Sons collection - 8/24/2007 9:16:18 PM    craigc90 Posts: 654 Joined: 8/17/2004 From: Bloomingdale Ohio Status: offline Thanks Mike and Thanks Doug. At his age they dont  forget anything. He knows more about my bottles then I do. He reads my books and he reads all the post on the computer every day. He wants his own screen name for the forum. If he dont loose interest he will have a killer collection someday. (in reply to appliedlips) Post #: 12
