Status: offline 		I haven't posted to this thread lately and thought I would share this article that appeared in this morning's newspaper. (San Diego Union-Tribune). The point of interest here is the old stone store museum in Campo, California where "my" 1935 amber 7up bottle is on display. Today is the ribbon cutting which will designate old Hwy 94 as an official state historic route. I'm leaving shortly to participate in some of the festivities ... and hopefully do a little roadside bottle hunting along the way.

Bottle is in rough shape with heavy case wear ... but still a keeper.

Status: offline 		Back on July 24th I posted a reply regarding a San Diego Soda Works bottle I paid $20.00 for. But if you recall I also said it had a big chip of glass missing from the shoulder. Well, I fixed it! And by "fix it" I mean I just found and purchased another one from e-Bay yesterday. The photo below doesn't do it justice, but it is supposed to be in great shape, and I am looking forward to receiving it soon. These S.D.S.W. bottles are typically kind of hard to come by. And yet here I stumble onto two of them within the period of about a month. It was made sometime in the 1930s or early 40s. I'm excited

Status: offline 		I got my San Diego Soda Works bottle in the mail today (priority - 2 day delivery) and it is in absolutely pristine mint condition! Not a nick, case wear, or scratch on it anywhere. Plus it's dated 1932. So I am as pleased as peaches.

I highlighted the embossing with white-out to illustrate the use of a common "S" for both "San" and "Soda."  I love it and it is now my current favotite bottle in my collection. The last one was severly chipped and worth about $20.00. I place a value on this mint one of about $50.00.

Welcome to the forum. Where ya been all this time? I hope you stick around. But be forewarned that I am considered a bit of a trouble maker around these parts. Lol  Just kidding (I hope).

Anyhoo ... I am very familiar with the old Buckman place. I grew up just a few miles from there and have been digging around that area for the past 30-odd years. But of the several bottles I found at the old plant itself, not one was undamaged. Even the keepers I found have chips in them. I guess that's why they were tossed out in the first place. I even know where oldman Buckman is buried, which is a big secret because the family does not wish for it's location to be known publicly. But just about everybody back in the day knows where it is.

Thanks for the photos. I have been trying to get my hands on those labels for years. But the only place I know of who has any are at the Museum in Campo. And they (underatandably) won't part with any.

Thanks for stopping by. We'll have to get together one of these days. By the way, what brought you to A-B.net? I noticed this was one of your first post.

Take care,

Bob

Here's one of the bottles from the old Buckman place. But I believe it's more of a generic bottle, as the true "Buckman Springs Lithia Water" bottles was different. I never have found one of the "for sure" Buckman bottles.

Haven't found anything new lately. I poked around the Buckman Springs site also. I have one nice bottle that I was told came from the Buckman family. Looks like yours.....Mike

Thanks for the e-bay info. That San Diego bottle must be a new listing as it wasn't there the other day. That's weird about the seller posting a link to this thread. I have no idea who that is. He must have Googled-Searched "San Diego Soda Bottles" and come up with it. As I have never discussed that particular bottle, it was likely intended as a reference to the History of the bottler more than the bottle itself. I wonder what made him think I was a dealer?

I will send you a personal message one of these days and set up a time for me to come over. I am looking forward to seeing your San Diego collection. Maybe you will even have a "Don Diego" you'll let me buy for about $20.00.  Lol    Yeah, right!  Don't I wish.

I'll be in touch.

Bob

I almost forgot ...

If you don't already have a copy of this book, let me know in advance and I will give you a copy when I come over. It is softbound and 44 pages long. It tells the whole story of the Buckman lithia water plant, and contains a lot of great photos.

Googled for information and there, by lucky chance, was a reference to a-b.net. I wonder how many others have found it by the same serendipitous luck?

Incidentally we find some quite interesting ACL bottles out here - sent a couple to a collector called Bill Williams a few years ago.

Wow! South Africa of all places. That might set a new distance record for the farthest away tap-in to A-B.net. I am not sure exactly how it all works, but just about everything posted ends up in a Google index somehow. I have noticed this numerous times involving numerous subjects. I'm just glad it doesn't automatically happen to all the personal e-mails I send ... or does it?  I dread the thought. But since I have nothing to hide I won't worry about it. However, there was that one I sent involving an incident at band camp ... but heck, that was ten years ago and surely no one remembers that. I hope. Plus, I guess they are having problems on Facebook with people posting stuff like when they will be gone on vacation. Of course, this just "opens the door" to would be burglers. Anyway, it's a crazy world and very interesting to hear from someone so far away. Please stick around. If you have an interest in old bottles, you've come to the right place.

Thanks again, and take care.

I forgot to mention that I don't mind a bit that you posted the A-B link on e-bay. Actually, I think it's kind of cool. Maybe the A-B.net administration will kick me a bonus for the free advertising ... not!

Bob

P.S. ~ P.S.

How'z about starting a new thread and show us some of those South Africa bottles you mentioned. I'm sure it would be of interest to everyone. Thanks.

Status: offline 		Hi Bob; I "posted the a-b.net link on E-bay" ???  I wouldn't even know how to !! I will certainly post some of the SA ACL bottles sometime. At the moment I have a thread going under Chat About Bottles to do with US bottles that have turned up over here in SA. And thinking of your posts about snakes some way back, we have some interesting cobras & mambas here that make wandering about in the bush something of a lottery!

Sorry about that. I misunderstood what you posted above. (I seem to be doing that a lot lately. I think it's time for another trip to Las Vegas to unwind). Obviously it was someone else. No problem. I will check out your post. Plus, now I don't feel so bad about my rattlesnakes. At least when they bite, you don't die instantly on the spot! Lol 

Thanks,

Status: offline 		Hi Bob, I do not have the book and would love a copy. I will make it worth you while! I looked for the grave out at Buckman Springs one time, but didn't find it. I heard it was along the fence line, but never saw it. I attached a picture of the old San Diego Dr. Pepper/Hires Rootbeer bottling plant sign that was just uncovered in April after a building was torn down behind it. It is located on West A and Kettner down past the airport. The sign dates to 1942 when the plant opened. It closed in the late 1950's....

Wow! First I heard about the old wall. Surely they intend to preserve it. Have you heard anything in this regard? I will swing by there the next chance I get. I know exactly where it's at. (I will bring the book)(I just remembered the book shows the exact location of the Buckman grave.Which is weird, because the last I heard they were trying to keep it a secret. It even has a photo of the grave stone they are so worried about someone stealing).

Thanks,

Bob
