    Congrats, nice one: I too have an addiction to demi's. This big 3-piece mold john is my favorite bottle I have ever owned. Though no where near the most valuable. [attachment=cc.JPG][attachment=kk.JPG]

    Indeed, bitten hard.Yes Rika, take your time with those free-blown beauties.When and if you are ready to add a steam engine flask (or something else) to your collection let me know and possibly we can strike a trade. I collect the chestnuts. [attachment=SWR.JPG] [attachment=Capturebvgh.JPG]

    Rika posted: "Wow! Thank you guys, not what I expected. I would never have thought bottles could make you emotional." Well said.

    Lawn Sale Find .... Historical Flask
