Hey Road Dog, is that snow I see on the ground outside your window? We get snow evey year on Mauna Loa, enough to do a little sking and snowboarding. Actually, we had a front move through this summer amd it got a dusting up there. The run off from it makes all the rivermouth surfing breaks very cold, we even have to wear wetsuits.
That cobalt Conway looks good the way it is. I have a light cobalt Lancaster X and an aqua one as well. They are nice to collect.
Roussel made so many sodas and in so many different colors that is hard to keep up with them. Thanks for dating that one.
You keep rebuilding that engine and you'll make the record books.

Hi Everyone,

Theres some great sodas pictured in this thread I really like your Pittsburg Porters Stinger Thoese inverted taper lips are cool and I've always liked the fat porter shape. I also love that picture of that over stuffed case of pontiled squats. I wish I had that problem. Theres still alot of Baltimore ones I'm after.  Here are pictures of some of my Baltimore pontiled sodas. I hope everyone enjoys.

Chris

This picture is of two P. Babb pony shaped sodas one in aqua and the other in a teal.

This picture is of 3 W. Coughlan sodas. The first one is a very rare slugplate version there are only 3 known including my damaged example and they are all different colors. My deep teal example is the only one known in that color the other two are an emerald green and an olive green in color. The middle example is another rare slugplate mold but there are probably 5 or 6 of this one around. The last example is a bit more common simply embossed W. Coughlan

This picture is of a strange pucy gingerale gasoline colored Gardner & Brown torpedo though not pontiled this bottle dates from 1846-1848 and is probably one of the earlyer 1846 made examples as the later ones tend to be shades of green. It is unique in this color

Howsit Chris, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful and unique collection of Baltimore sodas. The rest of us can only drool over them.
You dug most or all of these bottles, correct. That makes them even more special. That is a lot of hard work to have come up with such a beautiful collection.
Thank you for your comments about my porters, I really like them as well.
Chris, you just gave the rest of us a great database for some rare Baltimore bottles. Please, anytime that you feel like sharing any of your sodas, please do.
Thanks again,
Stinger
p.s. I still wish my wife would of bid a little higher (enough to win it) on your cobalt Roussel.

Hey to all soda collectors,
Right now there is a NC pontiled cobalt Robinson soda (needs cleaning if you like them tumbled) up for sale. If your interested look at the sell,buy and trade forum on this website. Its the only cobalt soda from NC.
This example is the newer version with a taller blob top and it looks really good.
The seller emailed me and he is well educated about the bottle's rarity and worth. He gave me an education about its worth. I had one that my dad gave me and unfortunatley it was broken in the earthquake last month in Hawaii.

Just wondering, did this guy go out as part of the gold rush and then come back to Baltimore, or did he go out to San Fran later in the goldrush days or no connection.
