Status: offline 		The corner cabinet is Delaware made, from mid 1800s. On top of it are 4 ip sodas, two from del, one from philly and then one from York Pa. The clear hutch is a barqs root beer, from miss.

Also on the corner cabinet: a redware flask, a matchstick house from the 1920-30s, a vintage fishing lure in the shape of a beaver and a 1907 track trophy.

The close up of the sodas on the blanket chest include LR: Empire Sodaworks Vallejo (cali) w/ an eagle, a Phil xxx porter (IP), two J Wise Allentown, both smooth base, but one is so dark its purple, and finally two Seitz from Easton Pa. I like having different color variants of the same soda bottler next to each other. I also like color runs in bitters, but that gets more expensive.

The York is a green IP, G Upp Jr / York Pa. Its in great shape, some haze, but no chips, cracks or heavy staining. I visited my friend in Balt the other night. It took about 45-50 mins to reach his house. He lives near inner harbor, so its just off of 95. Sadly for me, where i live in DC (NW), it takes a while to really get out of the city.

Status: offline 		Sorry Photo, I missed your question. The pig bottle is old. Its a Suffolk Bitters from Philbrook & Tucker of Boston. Its my most expensive bottle, and favorite, mainly because of how cool it looks.
