I hear almost everyone in the UK has at least one gnome in thier 2 square meter backyards. Sounds like my kind of place. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 2/18/2007 9:55:45 AM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to BigJock) Post #: 5

But mostly they just add beauty to my property. I would post a photo but they are pretty much buried in snow and ice right now. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 7

RE: Whats the Rariest Figural in USA - 2/18/2007 11:20:59 AM    epgorge Posts: 2398 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Hey Jock, I know many people collect figurals. My mother is one. She likes the European, particularly Italian made. Barb wire is a big collectors item as it too depicts the history of the American territories. Their growth through to statehood (sort of like your ero-union, if you will). I collect bottles for their history. A figural bottle I am presently looking to acquire (inexpensively) is the Bunkerhill Monument pickle bottle. Of course, I don't wish to relive the American revolution against you loyalists, the Bunkerhill bottle is a living memory, to me, of a rise above imperialism, taxation and non-representation. Of course, in my opinion we have gone full circle right back where we ran from. Joel _____________________________ (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 12

Someone gets out of line at a show and you can beat them into submission with a part of your collection. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 13
