I can tell ya right off the bat that insulator is very collectable,and the market for those is boomin right now...."just a little hint"......especialy for rare colors like green,check/search for the "ICON" website for info on insulators...... I see 2 bromos "large and small",pretty common but cool to find! ,cobolt screw top ink, the bottle all the way to the left looks to be sewing machine oil? The crown jar,does it have milk on it some where on the embossing?.... but some very very good finds,id check into the insulator though ASAP! _____________________________ It's time for another TEA PARTY!!!!

WhiteLighting: I hear ya about the insulator thing. I must confess though, I'm primarily an insulator collector. Even though it's a nice color this is a pretty common insulator and doesn't sell for much. It has a bit of damage too, so that takes the value down also. The far left bottle is a sewing machine oil bottle made by Singer. The crown sealer I believe just has the common embossing you see on most Crowns with the embossed picture of the crown. I'll have to check if it says Milk anywhere on it though. I'll have a look when I get home tonight. Chris (in reply to 143Tallboy) Post #: 4

It might have been used for a mixer or a drink on it's own, could've been some kind of liquer too. I think they still make a product like this, I'll have to check next time I'm in the grocery store.

Apparently the brand is now owned by Cadbury Schweppes. Chris (in reply to 143Tallboy) Post #: 12
