Status: offline hi kevin,  thanks for looking.  the area where the car things are is behind some pre 1900 houses.  looks like some of them had stone, bricks, whatever to build up the back of the property.  i hope to find one they didn't do that too.  the only thing i found out about the beer, is the co. want out of bussiness in 1916.  rhona (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 6

RE: tues july 8th plus - 7/11/2008 8:32:25 AM    E   Posts: 109 Joined: 5/9/2008 Status: offline Rhona, Can you post a clearer picture of the Portner?  We have found several types in central/tidewater Va. over the years (there really are many varieties by-the-way), I may have a clue as to the date.  Most of the ones we see down here are aqua - some of the older ones (blobs) are very sharp bottles even if fairly common. If you get it repaired just have em' stick a blob on the top. (in reply to dollarbill) Post #: 9

Status: offline hi mike, bill, E, and buster,  thanks so much for looking,  need the encouragement some times.  my husband said the hood is from an early 30's car. bill, i guess i should go back and look in the tires,  but if something starts moving watch out.  E,  got a better pic., after cleaning the dirt out it looks like it would change color.  buster,  sure wish i could get my honey to do.  wish i could send some cool days to you so you can dig,  but it hasn't been to cool here.  good luck all,   rhona Attachment (1) < Message edited by Trying not to break it -- 7/12/2008 12:42:03 AM > (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 11
