OMG - Look what I found today by accident! - 4/16/2011 11:30:38 PM    grugirl   Posts: 204 Joined: 3/25/2011 Status: offline Today, I drove 2 hours almost to go pick up 4 little chick roosters for my breeding plan. The feed store that had them was just across the street from Monroe, WA fairgrounds. there was a sign outside that said, FREE Swap Meet today. I was in a hurry to get the chicks and head back down home 2 more hours away but decided to run in really quick. I told myself 20 mins max. I ran in with my head dodging this way and that and in some spots, quickly perusing their inventory of glass. Not much of anything but a cool brown jug I liked in one stand and then around the corner and came across some interesting bottles this gal had with a bunch of other stuff. What is a blue ball and claw wheaton bitters worth? Here is the first one I found. _____________________________ Looking for digging partners in WA state Post #: 1

Status: offline Not familiar with it.  But it's a pretty bottle none the less. But I'm guessing not a whole lot. Did a quick google and many people have them for sale. http://www.google.com/search?q=ball+and+claw+bitters&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q=ball+and+claw+bitters&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=VY5&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=ivns&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=xsKqTcjrLsPX0QHUu_D5BA&ved=0CCIQrQQ&biw=1280&bih=809&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=691466ca07669fbe < Message edited by Poison_Us -- 4/17/2011 6:37:55 AM > _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

I love it just the same and is a good place to focus on bitters now. Can't wait for that show in Chehailis in May.... _____________________________ Looking for digging partners in WA state (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 6

It's definitely a repro. They came in many colors and 2 sizes. HERE'S a creative use of both sizes. < Message edited by cowseatmaize -- 4/17/2011 11:51:25 AM > _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to grugirl) Post #: 7

RE: OMG - Look what I found today by accident! - 4/17/2011 12:20:41 PM    grugirl   Posts: 204 Joined: 3/25/2011 Status: offline Yes, I figured that out and saw that as well as many other postings and listings in various Inet spots last night that allowed me to see it is a repro. I wish others would respond to my pink bottle with stopper. I know that is hand blown and very interesting. _____________________________ Looking for digging partners in WA state (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 8

You could end up with a real nice collection of commemoratives and modern decoratives without spending much money.. (in reply to grugirl) Post #: 9
