Well I have been working on turning a spare bedroom into my bottle / computer room over the summer and I'm just about finished so I thought I'd post a few pics of everything. Let me know what you think.

Chris

The first picture is of my pontiled medicine collection with a few other nice Baltimore pieces.And the rest of my Baltimore stoneware bottles.

Really nice cabinets, Chris, and that soda display is absolutely incredible!  Your room is like a museum, but one in which I'm sure most of the items were excavated by yourself!

Cindy,

I'm glad you liked my display. I built the cabinets myself from scratch I always wanted to build some furnature. So I gave it a try and they came out pretty good. And yeah pretty much all the ceramics and about half the bottles were dug by me. Its been alot of fun and I'm finally glad to have unpacked everything and have it all displayed.

Wow, very nice Chris.  I was going to ask where you got the cabinets, there perfect for bottles!  Does look like a museum, especially with all the pottery.  I need to get a bigger place, with a bottle room.  I have about 50 bitters all packed up along with a lot of other nice stuff.  Then the rest is scattered through out the house.  Every window, wall shelfs, it's getting out of hand...  My girl friend took a look around the other and said "your freaking nuts!".

Very nice, Chris. Your display cases and the entire layout are great. My bottle displays are all incorporated into my living room now, but I have two big semi-finished rooms in my basement that I hope to someday turn into my "museum". ~Jim

  I too have had the absolute pleasure seeing this awesome collection in person. The pictures are great, but to truly appreciate it, you have to see it. I know how much work you put into the room and mostly the collection itself.

This is one of the truly great Baltimore collections out there !
