My humble collection - 6/16/2008 11:42:22 AM    DLWJohn   Posts: 27 Joined: 6/11/2008 From: Jermyn, PA Status: offline Heres a shot of my collection so far. Nothing too great but I'm still pretty much a newbie when it comes to bottles. In the first row is just a couple common edison battery oils 2nd row is (L to R): Standard Brewing Co Scranton, PA AH Whitmer Selinsgrove, PA E&J Burke beer Ashton Mineral Water Co Ltd/ Portland Street/Ashton-U-Lyne Codd August Hohl Catasauqua, PA GB Felker Montrose, PA hutch (Found this ON TOP of the ground, where it had been thrown 100+ years ago!) The back row is some local milks, the green bottle is a worthless screw top, but I liked the color and corrugations on the sides so I kept it (anyone know what kind this is out of curiosity?), and on the end the usual Clorox and Certo..... and yes that is an original peice of a Lackawanna Railroad dining car dish, found on the old main line abandoned in 1915!

And like most of us when you start running out of room you'll become more choosey what gets taken home and added to the collectuion. Keep at it, you'll be surprised how quickly they add up....

I found the Clorox, Certo, Standard beer, EJ Burke, and the hutch along an old railroad line, and The A.H. Whitmer, August Hohl and the codd I bought at flea markets/antique stores The Whitmer soda is also my favorite as well.... (in reply to deer4x4) Post #: 7

RE: My humble collection - 6/18/2008 1:26:24 AM    glass man Posts: 1693 Joined: 1/30/2008 From: GEORGIA Status: offline I have a soft spot in my heart for the battery oilsWhen I 1st started collecting in LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY,I would walk the rail road tracks and find them lying by the tracks and acl sodas!MAN,WHAT A THRILL! I miss those days. I wish I HAD A EDISON BATTERY OIL NOW,THAT I FOUND LONG AGO AND HAD ON MY SHELF JUST LIKE YOU DO DL!TREASURE THE EXICITEMENT YOU FEEL NOW!I have seen so many get out of bottle collecting because it became a MONEY THING and could not afford $25.000 bottles .I have actually been set up at a bottle show with my $1-$10 bottles and had a person look at my bottles and sneer!THANK GOD MOST OF US LOVE BOTTLES AND EACH OTHER PERIOD! I am not knocking a beautiful high priced bottle or those who can afford them .I know some of these people and they are great people.I also know people that buy high priced bottles and act like bottle collecting is their on private country club and not just any one can join! THESE PEOPLE ARE THE MINORITY AND  BE IGNORED AND LET THEM LIVE IN THERE EXPENSIVE GLASS HOUSES! I have started all three of my bottle collections by going to the dump and taking home the culls no one wanted and loved them.HEY they were as old as the more exspensive bottles and they won't always be as easy to come by! I started collecting acl's when no body cared for them .If I had kept it up I WOULD HAVE ONE GREAT COLLECTION NOW! SORRY TO RAMBLE ON AND ON INSOMIA GETS LONLY SOMETIMES! LOVE YOU ALL!
