Texas soda collection - 2/25/2011 10:24:29 AM    jays emporium Posts: 1531 Joined: 12/18/2006 From: Victoria, Texas Status: offline I have an ad in the local paper to buy bottles this week and got a call about a collection of soda bottles.  The guy has been collecting for years and finally wants to get rid of all but the bottles from his town.  I got about 250 bottles, about 200 Texas and the rest other states.  Here is the Texas hutchinsons.

RE: Texas soda collection - 2/25/2011 1:12:28 PM    jays emporium Posts: 1531 Joined: 12/18/2006 From: Victoria, Texas Status: offline Brad, I know there's not a Hutch from there.  The crowns I haven't looked at closely yet but I don't remember any. He let me pick so I didn't buy all the bottles.  I looked through the Texas hutchinsons first and picked 17 that I wanted and he quoted a unit price.  Higher than garage sale price but cheaper than bottle show.  Then I went through the crowns and picked 7 cases full.  While he was figuring up the total I looked through the Texas hutchs again that I didn't pick the first time.  Some were common and some had damage and some I already had. He said, since you're buying this much you can have the rest of the Texas hutchinsons.  What a deal! (in reply to texasdigger) Post #: 8
