Of course they could be more plentiful in the area where they were bottled years ago. Regardless , I think it is one of the nicest embossed crown tops I have ever seen .

It's so 70's that it makes me feel like I'm watching 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' and drinking on of 'em!  Cheers, Bob  (in reply to digger mcdirt) Post #: 9

Oh , and yes , I kept my train collection as well . Good thing I did , lost my backside on everything that was sold . Apparantly , this is not a good time to try and sell anything , wish I had given it more thought , would have most likely forgot about having an auction at all. The buyers sure had fun though . The dag gone varmints . One good thing did come out of it though , I am able to see my garage floor for the first time in about twenty years or so ......................

I had a complete WW2 German armored train that I build myself but I sold it along time ago. Man that thing was great lookin. _____________________________ 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 L C) Post #: 17

RE: a few new soda's - 10/15/2008 2:13:48 PM    L C   Posts: 1586 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Here is a pic of a few of them Warren, as you can see , they need a good cleaning ! They have been in boxes for a good long time . I find it amazing how heavy some of these cast engines are . I remember running out to watch the real ones go down the tracks when I was a young lad . I also had the privilege of playing in them when on the side tracks near my home .  I also remember running out and seeing my first Deisel come thundering down the tracks , never ran out to see another train go by again , seemed something of great importance had been lost .

Maybe you should have opened an antique shop instead of having an auction. Seems like you had enough stuff. _____________________________ 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 L C) Post #: 19

RE: a few new soda's - 10/15/2008 2:25:55 PM    L C   Posts: 1586 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Always wanted to do that here at the house Warren , but I live on a road well off the beaten trail so to speak , where only local traffic runs . If it had not been for that , I would have . I do wish I would have spent a few hundred and advertised in the papers for a twenty five year collection of memorabilia being sold in a large yard sale, and just threw it all out in the yard and see what would happen . Now that I think about it , I am sure I would have done much better than the nightmare that developed here at this auction . I could have least been able to control the prices .
