Skilton Foote Bunker Hill Pickles - 8/11/2008 10:52:42 PM    Wilkie Posts: 346 Joined: 5/2/2008 From: Suisun City, CA Status: online I am pretty happy with this bottle I just won on eBay.  $19.98 is a pretty good buy I think and I love the yellow color of it.  According to Betty Zumwalt (one of the experts in food bottles), it is more commonly found in aqua and clear but there are a wide variety of colors that can be found.  This one is 7 3/4" tall.  It's in Polaks last book at 150 dollars, this color and size (Polak has been known to be wrong though).  Regardless, I love this bottle.  Does anyone have any other colors?  I'd like to see some of the different ones.  Attachment (1) < Message edited by Wilkie -- 8/11/2008 10:53:31 PM > _____________________________ http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=395846520 www.tim.wilkinson.org I buy Northern California bottles.
