That paneled Seitz is a nice shade of cobalt, it looks pretty clean. By the way did everyone catch a look at the color of a paneled Boardman in green? It was posted earlier by RoadDog. The color on that Philly Johnston is a very light shade of green, the type that you just can't describe accurately without seeing it. The pontiled cobalt Seitz Bros are nice, they come in some really nice colors. You could make a collection of Seitz just collecting by their different colors. Those Volikers also come in a variety of shapes and colors. J. Wise is always a favorite cobalt soda with collectors. I have seen some that were so crude, you'd swear that they had to be pontiled, but were smooth base. Hey, a lot of favorite bottles aren't the high end, one of a kind, break the bank type of bottles. I have quite a few that are my favorites and they are very common sodas. Your Buffums definitely is in that class. Anyone out there have any favorite sodas they like to show off? All you history buffs out there, we could use a little information on some of the glass houses that made these beautiful sodas. Craig, thanks again for showing us your sodas.

One of the more interesting bottles he found seems to be somewhat valuable and we thought maybe you guys at the forums could give us a price idea... Embossed on the Front it reads  "GRATTAN & co ltd. Bellfast, Ireland"(embossed) underneath that it has a 2"x3" embossed space that looks like a once-labeled area.   On the back...   it has a Big "GC"(embossed) in the center it reads "Original makers of Ginger Ale"(embossed) "estd 1825 J&G ltd" (embossed) On the reverse-pontiled bottom of the bottle is an askew embossed "G"   In the bottle is a half deteriorated cork that must have been in the top. There are several bubbles and 2 chips in the bottle.     Tell me what you think. Thanks!                                                    < Message edited by bottleman4432 -- 2/25/2007 2:29:05 PM > (in reply to craigc90) Post #: 144

I think they turned out great. They are both iron pontil. One is a Buffums and one is a double D Kenneddy both from Pittsburgh Pa. Attachment (1) (in reply to bottleman4432) Post #: 145
