RE: Help please with missing blob! - 8/15/2007 8:01:28 PM    tfredrich   Posts: 158 Joined: 10/9/2003 Status: offline Hi Bill, Both bottles are circa 1890's and are listed as RARE in Wayne Krolls bible on Wisconsin breweries and their bottles. This basically means that they hit the category of which big collector doesn't have an example. If two or more go at it they could hit 75-100 plus dollars. I'd say safely $50.00 minimum each. I collect Southeastern Wisconsin bottles and here is a shot of this past week diving! One Fort Atkinson Wis, and two Milwaukee Pottery beers from the time of the civil war! Now that is why I do the whole scuba diving thing in nasty rivers! Thanks again Bill! Tom Attachment (1) < Message edited by tfredrich -- 8/15/2007 8:03:04 PM > (in reply to druggistnut) Post #: 23

I found it yesterday and is a very early Chicago beer bottle. I believe it may be quite rare! Just cannot find out anything on her yet! Rick let me know when it can come out for a good spin in the machine. Tom Attachment (1) (in reply to druggistnut) Post #: 24

Thank god for a good wife who has been my right arm for the past 4 years with cleaning all the bottles for me. I would pack most of them and she would do the lifting for me, Once my condition heals i will be back in full swing, they say with chronic pain come depression, thats an under statement for sure. ever sence this old guy hit me from behind his lawyers say if i can lift a pen i can work, what a bunch of a**holes,  the old man said "if i was not there this would not have happened" dah.. no kidding..... sorry for the rant, just want every one to know how it has been, then on sunday last week my computor fried big time, lost all my email addresses and and my excel program pictures every thing is gone, rick < Message edited by Bottle tumbler -- 8/21/2007 7:34:59 AM > (in reply to tfredrich) Post #: 29

RE: Help please with missing blob! - 8/31/2007 5:26:51 PM    Jules   Posts: 191 Joined: 9/16/2003 From: NE Pennsylvania Status: offline Hey Rick... I'm your neighbor over here in Clarks Summit. If you're waiting for the good medical professionals in our area to figure out whats wrong...I'm thinking you have a long wait ahead. My best advice is to get your Doc to refer you to someone in Philadelphia or Geisinger Danville. I was involved in an accident that broke my elbow and left me with terrible pain in my neck as well. Ortho. Surgeon for the elbow told me I was too young for there to be anything really wrong with my neck, it was just muscle strain/sprain and would eventually go away. Pain persists...go to primary care Doc, get an MRI, lo and behold, two healing fractured (think cracked, not broken) vertebrae and 3 herniated discs. Gotta love it. (before you ask, it gets better but you're never exactly the same again. You learn what sets the pain off then just don't do that anymore -g-) Also a FYI, it's in the opposing insurance company's best interest to draw court/a settlement out as long as they possibly can, unless you're willing to settle for a number much lower than the claim is worth and sign off it for good. This allows them to continue investing their assets and earning interest on that money that much longer. What they earn in interest helps offset the payout of the claim. Once the independant exam is done though, you're nearing the point where they're almost ready to file for a court date or (hopefully!) make you an offer, depending on what their independant doctors report says.  (Independants normally but not always come after the depositions.) You, however, do not earn interest on the amount of your award from the day you were injured. Surprise surprise? In the meanwhile, if theres anything bottle/tumbling/digital photo-wise that you need that I can help with, please feel free to drop me a private mail. I don't know how to work a tumbler, but you do and I'm a quick study :) Best, ~Julie (in reply to Bottle tumbler) Post #: 40
