Yard Sale Find! - 6/17/2007 11:02:50 AM    treasurekidd   Posts: 265 Joined: 9/25/2005 From: Warwick, RI Status: offline I scored my first bottle find at a yard sale yesterday! it was marked $2.00, got it for $1.00, not to bad! It's a clear barber bottle, embossed "T.Noonan & Sons, Boston, Mass". It's approx 7" tall, and the seam runs to the top, all the way through the lip, so it's ABM, but any ideas on actual age or value? Thanks for looking!

It is from just after the turn of the century and books at $15. There is also this one, 6 3/8", Square (coffin shaped), BIM or ABM, ring top top, aqua. - ABM variant. $15, BIM variant $30. Embossing: front: "8 FL.OZS. CAP> - NOONAN'S - HAIR - PETROLE - REG. U.S. PAT. OFF. - T. NOONAN - & SONS CO. - BOSTON - MASS. - MADE IN U.S.A." and this one, 3 3/4", Rectangular, ABM, ring top top, clear. $30. Embossing: front: "T. NOONAN & CO - BOSTON, MASS." and this one, 6", Rectangular, BIM, square top top, aqua. $15. Embossing: side: Crown front:: "T. NOONAN - SONS - COMPANY - BOSTON" side: TNCO Logo. I wish I could tell you what book this is but the cover and first 10 or so pages are long gone. I have had it for 20+ years and it has been on nearly as many digs as I have in that time. < Message edited by capsoda -- 6/17/2007 11:33:00 AM > _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to treasurekidd) Post #: 2

We were all new at one time or other. I rember when I started collecting. I was telling Moses, "Now that is a nice bottle". Ask away and post as many pics as you want. That is what this forum is for. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to logueb) Post #: 14

I collect mainly  medicines, blob sodas beers and waters, and milks from Rhode Island and nearby Connecticut, but I like this barber bottle.  I bought it intending to put it up on eBay, but the more I look at it, the more I really like it. I might just add Barbers to my collection. Thanks again all! (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 15
