I just cant let much go!  I have common t.o.c bottles like elys cream I'll never let go... even have three variants of those... My Ayers are actually all packed except for one of the Backward "S" sarsaparillas...  I need some more room... < Message edited by tigue710 -- 2/22/2008 5:18:33 PM > _____________________________ aint no bottles in there....

RE: Ayers Sarsaparilla - 2/23/2008 9:42:29 PM    tigue710 Posts: 1747 Joined: 7/11/2007 From: connecticut Status: online here are some pics of my little run.  The one to left I believe to be the newest, it is only embossed on the front.  The one in the middle was cleaned out, (for those who dont know a very hard thing to do), and filled with some powder stuff.  I figured it was a poison so I've never attempted to remove it.  The one on the far right I believe to be the earliest and it has a very nice inward rolled lip.  Yup, I like these little guys...  One I dug in Coventry CT while looking for "older" stuff, but the small farm dump I found sufficed.  Would of been nice to come home with a flask but I did light up when I found this elys! < Message edited by tigue710 -- 2/23/2008 9:43:27 PM > _____________________________ aint no bottles in there....
