Ayup, you are right It was 18 when I could legally drink. And, nope, I didn't drink until I was tall enough to see across the bar. Then, I drank enough for this whole list. Today, Forty years later, I wished I hadn't. Life is full of choices. Right or wrong, they are ultimately up to us. Joel  _____________________________ (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 41

The first is embossed L.C. Simonds/ Bottler /8 0z. / Whitehall NY. This one has a bottom with an R in a triangle........Reed Glass Company, Rochester, NY (1927-1956).   The other is embossed Simonds / & Co./ Granville NY/ & / Wells VT /. Ever heard of them? I think they were soda. Joel _____________________________ (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 42

It is a 5 1/2 tall owl drug co. medicine bottle but with a G where the O belongs. I hope I'm not intruding with this input. Thanks Dt Attachment (1) (in reply to BigJock) Post #: 49

RE: Nothing worth collecting after 1950 - 3/26/2007 5:43:13 PM    CALDIGR2   Posts: 438 Joined: 6/20/2005 Status: offline My answer is to each his own. I have no interest in any machine made bottles, regardless of their supposed value, but thousands of folks think otherwise and I like that. What would the hobby be if we all collected the same thing? Not much, IMO. I make a point of never running another person's bottles down , no matter how insignificant they may be to me. After all, they are VERY important to the one collecting them, and they are what count. If someone likes NDNRs, than so be it. _____________________________ Mike Dig no privy before it's time.
