Ok I'll rant too. None to be offended. A collection of anything is cool I think x-cept them beannie things. Hell a couple of years ago Paula and myself went to the National Electric Fan Collectors Meet. It was twenty miles from the house. Had 30 or so people from all over the nation meeting in a shed in Aiken S.C.. Electric fan collecting,who would have thought? OK now to the crown tops. Here in the deep,deep South old glass is rare. Sure you find some ,but not to the degree as our Northen counterparts. The reason being we did not have the glass houses. Simple. And our towns were far apart.We did have lots of potteries hence Edgefield and Dave the Slave. Plenty of others in North Carolina and Georgia. And of course it is Hell Hot here in the summer time for some liquid refreshment. So now what sodas are coming from the South? We got Dr. Pepper from Texas, Coke from Georgia,Pepsi from North Carolina and Mt. Dew from Tenn.. So it is easy for us in the South to have a connection with sodas particully crown tops. Yes we do have the Blob John Ryan From Savannah and those high dollar Eagles from Charleston and a few bitters from said towns. But everyone has drank a soda. The color factor we got that covered too. Rarity got that covered again. See that B&W bottle? Find one. Find One with the dot in the B. Desireability. Like Packard "Ask the man who owns one". Or ask one who collects them. And lastly you can read these and know what they are from 20 ft. away without useing a crayon on them.
