Some Recent Additions To The Collection - 5/14/2011 9:08:52 PM    waskey   Posts: 1530 Joined: 12/6/2008 From: ellicott city,md Status: offline Lately Ive bought a few nice bottles and haven't had a chance to post them so here they are. First is a City Bottling House Baltimore, MD steamer soda bottle. This one is common, but the one I had already is very stained and I needed a good replacement for it. I got this one for $12 off ebay. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Looking to purchase any bottles from Ellicott City, Maryland that I don't have!!

High St. Bottling Works Baltimore, MD. As you can see the blob on this bottle is extremely thin like the top of a medicine bottle or whiskey. This bottle most likey dates after the squat sodas and most likely before the steamers. I am also going to post this in the before 1900 section. I got this one for $26 on ebay.

I think they are really neat and they don't take up much space either. This one is from the H.E. Koontz Creamery. It is dated 1933. I picked it up for $32 on ebay.

I got a nice quart Cloverland Farms Dairy Baltimore milk bottle to complete a set. I had the 1/2 pt and the pint. I also got an early Walnut Grove Dairy bottle from Baltimore. It has an embossed bees nest and bees flying around. I love the pictural milks.

Lilly Manfr. Of Ice Cream & Soft Drinks Ellicott City, MD. I had never seen an early ABM one of these before. I thought they were all BIM. Defenetly a steal at $5. Also picked up a Baltimore Ver Vac soda. I just had to have it for $3. Thats all until next time.

It's always nice to upgrade a rough-looking bottle. I have quite a few that I would like to upgrade myself.  ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 8

They did have a Westminster as well as a Salisbury location in Maryland but the ones from Westminster are actually marked Westminster. I'll PM you about it . _____________________________ Looking to purchase any bottles from Ellicott City, Maryland that I don't have!!
