    Weird square necked bottle

    Thanks guys, the only thing that would make it cooler is if it were colored glass. I think I'll try to track down a bottle club in London and see if they know anything about it. Sorry Cyber, we're not going to paint it :-) Dave

    Weird square necked bottle

    Hello again[:)] Sorry I don't get here as often as I would like to, and wish I had more experience so I could also offer advice to other newbies such as myself. Instead I only have questions for now. I know a lot more about cactus than I do bottles. Anyway, to the point. I purchased this...

    Blob top round bottom bottle

    This maybe should have been posted in the soda forum, but I wasn't sure. I recently scored this on E-bay. I probably paid too much but I've always wanted one of these. Now that I have one, I'm curious about it's history and purpose. My main question is why the round bottom? I know that some wine...

    A pipe from underwater

    Wow! That is too cool! Don't know preciseley how to advise you on this, but what little I know you probably allready know as an underwater Archeology enthusiast. Deep cold water is deplete of oxygen, so artifacts such as yours can last many years without any deterioration. But once exposed...

    First time here

    Well, I'm afraid there isn't much left of it. I've been selling them off one by one to make ends meet. I'll assemble what's left, including some new acquisitions tomorrow and post a pic. Dave

    First time here

    Ok, weirdness overload alert. Thread highjacked by aliens with an H on their foreheads. "Hal, execute a full system shutdown. Raise shields and call general quarters." "I'm sorry but I can't do that Dave." "What do you mean, you can't do that?" "My concern is for the mission Dave. I...
