RE: embossed pontiled sodas and mineral waters? - 11/17/2006 5:16:56 PM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline Hey Tom, Here is a picture of a Roussell that is basically the same one as the older example. As you can see, there is quite a difference. The teal Dr. Simes is the one that I was telling you about. It is iron pontiled (has all its iron intact)  he most known for his pontiled meds. He also has an aqua torpedo soda as well. I was told by a soda collector that these come in an aqua and a green, but he hadn't known of a teal example.

Does it have embossing on the back?  Here are 3 I still have. This Roussel has Silver Medal Award 1847 on the back of it.   Attachment (1) (in reply to stinger haut) Post #: 42

RE: embossed pontiled sodas and mineral waters? - 11/18/2006 8:14:33 AM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline Howsit Road Dog, That Roussel doesn't have the sliver award embossing on it. It has the Dyottville Glass Works on the back. Roussel was very prolific as soda maker. I would like get a cobalt Roussel. The Lancaster X are nice sodas to collect. My wife and are going to be down sizing our collection as well. Prices are down these days, so we're going to wait to sell the majority of our sodas. I think we'll end up with having about 5 examples of what we like the best from each area or maybe by select label. If we find one that we like better, we'll sell one to make room for the new one. I too have a problem with collecting everything. I collected 1960 surfboards for many years and ended up with over 60. I bought them for almost nothing and when my generation wanted its youth back, I made a killing reselling them. I have kept 6 of my mint, never used favorite ones. I will be posting some Pittsburgh Porters. Pono (in reply to Road Dog) Post #: 43

RE: embossed pontiled sodas and mineral waters? - 11/18/2006 9:28:45 AM    Road Dog   Posts: 817 Joined: 6/9/2005 Status: offline Surfboards would take alot of room to display. I'm downsizing all my collections( about 6 or 7) to more manageable sizes. Look forward to seeing those Porters. Here are a few more I hung on to.  Attachment (1) (in reply to stinger haut) Post #: 44

RE: embossed pontiled sodas and mineral waters? - 11/18/2006 12:53:45 PM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline Hey Road Dog, you killing me with some of your sodas. Nice Geo eagle, great short Cairns and when are you going to send the cobalt Roussel? My checkbook is ready! The Carins is one that we have decided that we like so much that its a keeper for us, as well. Ours is a regular size and not a squat like yours. Those surfboards were put into a storage unit with air conditioning so they wouldn't delaminate from heat. I dispayled only 4 of my favorite ones at home. In the late sixties, there was a short revolution in surfboard design. No bobdy wanted a longboard, I got back from Nam to no longer see guys riding 10 ft boards. Being in the industry and knowing most of the west coast and the few Hawaiian surfboard co, gave me a chance to buy unwanted brand new longboards for next to nothing, In some cases they just gave me the boards. Well, my generaion got old and wanted their youth back so guys starting collecting longboards again. My Porters are all aqua, I have a few more coming from Pittsburg shortly.

Ended up getting an Islander 5-3 single scag. First one I ever bought. My last board was an Islander 5-3 tri. Them was the days. One legged little fat dudes don't do well on boards. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to stinger haut) Post #: 46

RE: embossed pontiled sodas and mineral waters? - 11/18/2006 5:08:28 PM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline Hey Warren, you never cease to amaze me. The logs were hard to carry, let alone ride. My first log was 35 lbs and I was about 80lbs. You were sure shortboarding it. I ride a 9ft for small days, a 8'6" stinger for medium days and a 8'10" stinger gun for anything over 12 ft, all Hauts. I can't ride the shortboards because of the back. Two weeks ago it was an easy 12 ft island size. I rode a secret spot named tombstones. Shallow reef, got to make the drop or your screwed. The wave throws like pipeline, but the lip is thicker. Best thing, it breaks into a deep water bay, a no brainer for paddling back out. Being a goofyfoot, this wave is a dream. It only breaks when most other spots are closing out.

We only get 3 to 6 on good days and some 12 and 15 during hurricanes. You have to gun them, short fast rides. During big wave season you can ride on the inside, shoot the tube, but with the short boards you crash and burn alot. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to stinger haut) Post #: 48

RE: embossed pontiled sodas and mineral waters? - 11/19/2006 1:41:08 AM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline Howsit Warren, don't get mad, but I thought that you guys didn't really get any surf. That is good to hear that it can jack up to a large size. There is a guy who lives in Texas and every year like clock work, I would take his order for a new board. For over 18 years every year he would order a board. I never met him in person until I moved back to the islands. He came over and flew down to the eastside of the Big Island. We don't have sandy beaches here. Just rocks, lava and coral with a lot of steep cliffs. A break called bayfront that can hold twenty foot plus easily was firing at about 15 ft island the day we went surfing. The ride can be up to 3 minutes (no kidding) if you make the three sections on the reef. You have to turn high on the take off and just punp as fast as you can down the line, no cutbacks. He about fainted when he saw it breaking that day. So, I said lets just surf the inside at about 8 ft. He really loved it. He didn't do too badly either. He got tubed standing up and made it out. John is his name and surfing Da Islands is going to be his game, when he retires in 2 years. Funny thing, he thought that locals would eat him for breakfast. I told him no, just be quiet, don't take off on anyone, smile, share the waves with others and try and take off further back than anyone else. Don't complain if they take off on you, then you'll earn our respect. John did well and my buddies told him that in time he could be one local. Pono (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 51

It has a nice kick-up on it too.I had a John Ogdens Mineral Water Pittsburg. I sold that one. I imagine it is the same fellow as your Ogden's Porter.   I found that Tweddle Jr. . Here is a pic with a couple of others I kept. Attachment (1) < Message edited by Road Dog -- 11/19/2006 9:18:27 AM > (in reply to stinger haut) Post #: 52

RE: embossed pontiled sodas and mineral waters? - 11/19/2006 11:14:29 AM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline Hi, I missed the show this year. Was set to go and got ill. My good friend went and he said that were some very nice Pittsburgh bottles for sale. Quite a few cobalt Gleasons, Buffums, etc. There were about 90 tables. Craig on this forum has a Buffum's Porter and a double "D" for sale as of last weekend. If your interested check the buy, sell and trade forum. Thanks for the compliments on my sodas. Do you collect sodas?  If so, would you want post them to show them off? These date to about 1840-1850. Stinger (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 53

RE: embossed pontiled sodas and mineral waters? - 11/19/2006 11:30:30 AM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline Hey Road Dog, Those big Buffum Porters are nice. I really like the large porters. They do come in colors, but they're hard to find. You have a sweet Tweedles, nice top, I like the way it tucks under. It alway amazed me how they could get so much embossing on those bottles. That Roussel is a classic (especially with that long neck)  and the Parker is a nice shade of blue. I'll bet you had quite a soda collection before you sold them. Come to think of it, we now have quite a few of your old collection. I didn't comment on your name Road Dog. That is amazing that you put that many miles on your car. I have always said that they don't build then like they used to. I can't even tune up my truck or cars anymore. I wouldn't be suprised if you hit 500,000 miles on that car. Can you date those bottles? Anymore? Stinger (in reply to Road Dog) Post #: 54

RE: embossed pontiled sodas and mineral waters? - 11/19/2006 12:38:45 PM    Road Dog   Posts: 817 Joined: 6/9/2005 Status: offline Stinger I have 185000 on the rebuilt motor. When it's time I'll git'r done again. You have a bunch of nice bottles and guite a few Buffum variations. That Gleason is really nice.You can't go wrong with multi-sided cobalts. The Tweddle Jr botle is the only one I can date off the top of my head. I  think it's somewhere in the 1848- 1856 area. When he was listed at the Barcay address. Here is a pick of a couple I still have. The Conway has a dink and needs polishing. Attachment (1) (in reply to stinger haut) Post #: 58
