Steve, I know you've seen this but I thought I'd throw a pic up again. It's really one of the few I got left that I care about and thought others may want to see what I was talking about. It's not citron or weird clear, the closup just came out that way. It's just aqua.






Eric,...great bottle! Thanks everyone for showing all the diff. Bromo's....I find them very interesting....

I need to take a picture of it, but I think it was about 3 inches tall.

Status: offline 		Mike, I vaguely remember you showing that before, its the only one I've ever seen with other embossing on it.  If made by the American Bottling Company from Chicago Ill. and other Ohio, including Toledo plants it was probably made after 1905 according to David Whitten's makers marks website. Before Maryland glass took over it was assumed Cumberland or HA was the producer but AB isn't recorded. I'd like to get a good description to give Doc Andersen for the next Baltimore book or suppliment.  What is the size, anything on the bottom, and is it ABM?

Status: offline 		That`s a great collection of Bromos. I never knew that there was a light aqua one made, I`ve dug dozens and dozens of the cobalt and prussian blue ones, but never found any that were unusual or error embossed. Good Luck on finding more!

Always looking for anything Bixby: bottles, tins, boxes, trade cards, advertising, etc. Been collecting for 33 years and still don`t have enough of them! Also looking for early gas & steam engines, machinery, and Conn. drugstore bottles!

Status: offline 		Thanks Mike and thanks guys, they don't even come close to the Bixbys (yours are great) but it sure is fun to collect varients of bottles  that most people never knew existed.  There's always hope for that one more.  According to the Baltimore book there's a yellow/green bromo kinda like the Red Dragon seltzer can come in but I've never seen one.  I'm not into it yet but as far as advertising stuff, you could probably never collect all the Bromo - Seltzer possibilities out there!
