Utility bottles - 7/2/2008 11:20:16 AM    annie44 Posts: 1075 Joined: 10/27/2005 Status: offline Here are three new additions to my collection - all open pontiled utilities - a flared lip, tapered lip, and outward rolled lip....   Due to space restrictions at my house, I have downsized from demijohns to these small little bottles.

You can get many more pontiled utilities and puff than you can demijohns and in many more colors. Also unless beasty there learns how to fly they can be displayed out of reach.

RE: Utility bottles - 7/3/2008 6:56:47 AM    annie44 Posts: 1075 Joined: 10/27/2005 Status: offline Nice pair of utilities, Paul!  I find it hard to believe that a flared lip bottle can survive being buried - they are so fragile!  You're right, Warren - the variety of utility bottles out there is endless, and pretty affordable, if you like the unembossed ones, which I do.  Chase can't fly yet, but he is a surprisingly good jumper - and despite those big choppers, he is not a bit fierce - he is 70 pounds of pure affection!

RE: Utility bottles - 7/4/2008 12:48:34 PM    beendiggin Posts: 545 Joined: 6/30/2005 Status: offline The story of those undamaged bottles is this...I was probing in the basement of an old house...it had a dirt floor.  Apparently there had been at one time a wooden floor over the dirt which had rotted away.  Someone had been lifting a short floorboard up and dropping the bottles underneath.  Thats how they survived undamaged, along with these others. I also got an aqua Harrisons, which I sold, and some dozen others, but these 4 I kept.  Attachment (1) _____________________________ Paul Let no cobalt skull that can belong to me belong to another.
