This has gotten interesting. Do you, or anyone you know, collect FORMER State or National capitol bottles? For instance, Detroit was the capitol of Michigan, before Lansing, prior to 1847. If you had a bottle that dated prior to the capitol's change, would it count? (I have pontilled druggists from Detroit, case in point) The National capitol moved 8 times. Here is an informative site, regarding this topic and includes each state and former capitals. >>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_capitals_in_the_United_States#Former_state_capitals Are you counting SCA bottles as "colored?" Do you have any Michigan bottles for trade? I'm also more in to the trading mode, than the collecting of greenbacks, although I have no aversion to such <grin>. Bill
