Status: offline G'day nic.au Reliance, Acme and Valve are types of Patents used for marble bottles - certainly be worthwhile finding out more information on your bottles as many of the Western Australian bottles are quite scarce (and valuable/collectable). There are soem excellent websites around that can assist, including the bygonz website mentioned by bigkitty although it is now www.bygonz.co.uk as well as some Australian sites. The following list of sites are quite useful/informative: The Australian Bottle & Collectables Review (National magazine) is a good place to start - the website lists sample articles as well as subscription details http://www.users.bigpond.com/abcr/ The Australian Antique Bottle Website http://www.sli.unimelb.edu.au/scronk/aabw/index.htm The Aussie Bottle Digger http://www.users.bigpond.com/oz-riley/ Old Fizz - has some good general information on marble bottles/patents, etc. http://www.oldfizz.com/ There may be some Western Australian collectors on the list who can provide more specific details on your marble bottles.

Status: offline G'day again nic.au I also meant to say that it may be best to find out some more information about your bottles before you give too many away - Western Australia has some rare/valuable marble bottles. As bigkitty53 said, if you can clean them up and post pictures of them here, someone could provide more info about the patent, rarity, company etc. There may be a Western Australian bottle collector or club who could assist - I think there was a club based in Perth (may be listed in Yellow Pages) otherwise try www.pioneerantiques.com.au (WA Bottle and Collectables dealer at Inglewood).

If you ever dig any please let me know and we could arrange something. Wouldn't mind one of those BCD stone ginger beers either. I have a nice smokey grey BCD codd bottle that would look nice next to the ginger beer. You can email me through this site if interested. _____________________________ ~Alan~ Arrgh, not another....... Holbrookes!!! (in reply to nic.au) Post #: 25
