Went to buy some bottles...

[CazDigger]

I met up with a guy that had some bottles for sale today. He lives in the worst neighborhood around and his house looks like it might be condemned. He kinda looks like Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top but not as healthy. When I squeezed inside it was exactly like the TV show "Hoarders"!!! Boxes of bottles everywhere among the other stuff floor to ceiling. He was VERY friendly but wow, it was claustrophobic and dark in there too. I looked at tons of bottles and picked out a few to buy, but he had a few that I didn't recognize and he asked me to help get some info on them. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos.

1) 11 3/4" green cylinder Dr Andrew F Lippi MFG Chemist Philadelphia USA
2) aqua corset shaped 4" o.p. rolled lip H.W. Co. New York
3) clear cylinder 5" A Griffen Albany NY

As I was leaving he pointed out the bullet holes in his trashcan from the drive-bys!
Thanks for any help on info and or value on these.

I would buy them all if priced right. And then I would get the hell out of Dodge. I absolutely LUV this sort of stuff. It makes my blood flow and I feel euophoria. I have made several killings in the past, it's been about 10 years since the last one, and I'm PRIMED. GOT THE MONEY, GOT THE TIME, READY FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

Makes me drool!

I have made several killings in the past,

I hope this has nothing to do with the bullet holes in the guy's trash can !! [][]

In my experience the very best antiques and always the best deals come from the worst neighborhoods and the dirtiest houses. Always great fun to get in a place like that!

That's him!!! LOL!

I saw him again when I went digging in that neighborhood and he had a carved walking stick and he kinda looked like Merlin to me this time!
Thanks for the info on the bottles Eric, I will pass it along.

Why don't things like this happen to us? He may have just a bunch of modern stuff, but unless you look at them all, you will never know.
