    CAMPSA

    Hello Cowseatmaize, I checked out that site but I'm pretty sure it's unrelated to this old booze bottle. Well, at least it looks very much like a booze bottle. I've done a lot of searches and nothing turns up. The glass is very wavy on the inside of the bottle which is a little puzzling...

    tumbling

    Hello 1 Bottleneck, my tumbler is running right now or I'd send you some photos. My tumbler has 4" and 6" clear cylinders 24" long. The end that holds the bottles base has four 1/2", hard nylon posts that oppose each other at a 60% angle. The end that holds the mouth of the bottle has a hard...

    CAMPSA

    Does anyone have any info on this CAMPSA bottle? It was found under a house that was built around the turn of the century. I can't seem to find any info on it. Thanks

    XXX Ginger Ale

    Hello Ginger Ale collector, Thanks for responding. Being a collector of Ginger Ale bottles I'm sure you would know more about this bottle than most. I've been collecting Bitters, Cathedrals and various other bottles for over 30 years and have never seen this one before. I can't seem to find...

    Looking for display ideas

    Hi Tom, Nice work, your bottle cases look great. Unfortunately I'm not set up for working with wood anymore. The only wood work I do now is with a chainsaw. ;-) It's been 30 years since I made things like gun racks and the like. I like the fact that your cases are sealed, it eliminates most...

    Looking for display ideas

    Hello Kev, Thanks for sending the photos. That does look nice and one on each side of your fireplace is a good idea. I like the visibility from all sides. I have a double door cabinet in my computer room that is similar to yours but it dosen't have glass on the sides. I haven't been to REI...

    Looking for display ideas

    Greetings collectors, I'm looking for ideas on ways to display and light 60 to 80 of my favorite bottles. I have several cathedrals, bitters and ink bottles displayed in a bay window now but I would like to set up a wall display. Do you have any ideas where I can view bottle display photos...

    Benicia Glass

    Hi Med Man, As you said, I've also found that it's the different minerals in the making of the glass that leach out in different colors. I kind of like the colors on this bottle as is, so I'm not likely to tumble it. I wish I could get into another dig like that one. I was working for a...

    Benicia Glass

    Hello, I've been collecting for many years now and have a great number of bottles that I'm now doing research on. I've just joined this board after reading it for a time and finding that many on this board are very knowlegable and bring very good information to fellow collecters. My question...

    Another interesting find.....

    I have one that looks very similar to yours that I dug out of a dump created to dispose of rubbish from the earthquake in San Francisco in 1906. The lip on the one I have is a little crude as compared to yours. Much the same bubbles on both. Also, the one I have has an amethyst tone to it...
