Status: offline 		Thanks for that info Brian. I have the Caspers Made by Honest North Carolina People as well. It is mint.  After reading Dan's post pertaining to your comments about the missing E in Made, I had to look at mine to see what I had, mine is not missing the e. I think I posted a question as to which of the casper's were the harder to find, but I do not remember anyone ever replying to it. I might have missed it by chance though.

Hey Cap,
Was that from the still up on the hill? Wasn't there a movie about you starring Burt Reynolds?

Seriously, Is that a real cobalt or an irradiated purple? This antique place I visit has a ton of irradiated purple bottles, some not so common anymore, even cokes and they are ruined in my opinion. It bothers when I am looking for a specific bottle and the only one around is purple. But they sell like hotcakes for some unGodly reason.

Status: offline 		thanks Bottlediger, I'm not too tore up about that crack either. Probably is a 5 or 6 hundred dollar crack though.  L C that link is up in Brian S's 2nd post on this thread. Itsa great site.  Tony,ain't it about time I came up with something decent.  Maybe I will quit whining for a little while. I will get your blob beer sent monday. And Joel, I can guarandangtee you they are real cobalt.  Mine came from under about a foot of mud and bricks in the bottom of a creek.  From the time I found it to the time I posted it was probably less than 20 minutes. It looked like it had been laying where I found it for about 99.  Thanks everyone for the replies.

Status: offline 		you got that right, Jim.  I went back today for about an hour.  Water level in the creek bed would only let me go down about a foot.  Everything that is whole seems to be at or below that.  got some plain janes including a quart beer that was perfect of course.  I'll stay after it for sure.  Casper's is going on ebay today.

Sad the plain bottles seem to never be damaged but the rare ones have the damage. Rule 101 of bottle collecting  " Never buy a Cracked Bottle " chipped can be repaired cracks only get larger.

Status: offline 		thanks for the encouraging words Earl and good luck on your digs.  As far as buying a cracked bottle goes, bottlec, I see no reason why this bottle would not be stable as long as it is not subjected to a lot of abuse or extremes of hot and cold. Oh, WAIT, it just turned to cobalt blue dust.  DERN!!! Chipped, cracked, whatever, even a shard of a bottle is desirable to someone out there if it is hard enough for them to come by.

Several years back on ebay ..... I saw a Jackson's Stonewall Bitters ( a very rare semi cabin ) sell for several hundred dollars . All that was there was the upper 1/3 of the bottle and one side .  So , even some broken bottles are desirable .

Status: offline 		 thank you for backing me up on that Brian!!!  Seems like someone is trying to hurt my sale for whatever reason.  I have never misled anyone about a bottle's condition and would never intentionally.  To imply that every crack in every bottle is gonna get larger is absolutely absurd and I know that any potential buyers who read this thread are smart enough to know that.  I must have taken away some of someone's thunder or something.  sorry 'bout that.

i have lots of cracked bottles(not that its something to brag about) and none of them have gotten worse at all! they are just as they were when i bought them! if it was a bottle i wanted i wouldnt hesitate to buy it cracked or not because i have NEVER seen one get worse! not that that means it CANT happen just that its not as common as some folks make it seem...

not to be nosy or anything

Status: offline 		Thank you for backing me up on that Spencer!  I have never and probably never will have the luxury of throwing away a rare bottle because it was cracked.  I have a couple of neck shards I have been hanging onto for months now because I had never dug anything that old before. I don't doubt that I could sell them to someone. Oh well, I am happy with this sale if it doesn't go up another dime.  Holler at ya later!
