    SO THIS IS TO GET OTHERS THINKING THE WAY i DO. For a long time I have felt that our bodies were absorbing dangerous chemicals that were picked up by food contact with plastic. Much 0f what we eat and drink is in contact with plastic today. The potential is obvious to me. I have kicked this...

    I have a neat old bottle embossed with "/ EXCELSIOR SPRING SARATOGA " in green glass.

    It is quite unique in my opinion because it has a hand tooled crown finish. The bottom looks like it had been empontilled with a domed punty rod, but there is no clue to a contact media. I did a big study on these bottles years ago, but I am just getting back into a review of my example...

    Glass Canes and Battons;

    I got started in this category of collecting a good fifty years ago, because I purchased one and read about the fact that these were made as a whimsey sort of thing in a lot of Early American Glass Houses for use in patriotic parades. In my searching I found that the Clyde Glass Company in...

    Modern bottle design and method study;

    Book to check out.
