My best purchase yet! - 6/5/2008 1:51:39 AM    Poeticallyinsane   Posts: 241 Joined: 2/4/2008 From: Southern Colorado Status: offline Went to an antique mall today and found a section with loads of bottles! I picked out the olive green (?) bottle, a light blueish (aqua?) bottle, a bottle with spider web designs and a neat one shaped like a barrel that says "Barrel of Beer". The little jar came from the thrift store where I've gotten a few bottles in the past. AND since it seems on a couple posts on this site people have been talking about 7-Up, I found one and bought it. The guy gave me a discount too. It cost 10.00! I'm so happy. If anyone has any info or wants to know more please let me know. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Krystal Post #: 1

This is strange, really. My baby book has tissue paper on it that came on it and when I looked close at it as an adult it had the same pattern as the spider bottle.  When I told everyone, even my Mom we all  got a good laugh, as who in their right mind would create a baby book and put that creepy paper on it. Unless you gave birth to a  baby witch. and I'm NOT! It's really something only a detailed person would pick up on.I'm really into details and wondered if when it was made if somone did it as a joke and got away with it thinking no one will ever notice.  LOL   The barrel bottle. I just got one. paid 50 cents I assumed it was a beer bottle, although mine didn't have writing on it.   Keep on hunting and posting. I'm mostly housebond these days so I love to see others buys. ~stardust~ _____________________________ YouTube - The Story of Cinderella http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0ucno0rUZw I am the vine; you are the branches.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. I have seen four of your eight posts so far and they are either "something something a bunch of crap" or "Whatever", one wonders if your vocabulary extends much beyond guttersnipe.

Keep in mid that some folks are just miserable which causes negativity and we should pity them. _____________________________ 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 buzzkutt033) Post #: 9

RE: My best purchase yet! - 6/12/2008 1:10:04 AM    Poeticallyinsane   Posts: 241 Joined: 2/4/2008 From: Southern Colorado Status: offline I read both the negative and possitive replies. I just tend to not let the negative bother me. I like my bottles, whether anyone else does or not isnt my problem. I'm not asking anyone to enjoy my finds or buys and if they dont then maybe that person should keep their "crap" comments to themselves. The rest of you...thanks for commenting.   Oh! And yes, I'm still digging. _____________________________ Krystal (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 12
