    Bitter's bottles

    OK, all you old-timers (and new, if you know)--why did the producers of all the different bitters use such fancy bottles? I'm sure in the distant past I've seen these bottles on display and thought they were some gaudy liquer bottle or "commemorative" "collector's" edition of something. If...

    Best guides on bottles??

    Flasherr, this is a great topic!![:)]Especially for us novices who don't really know what we're looking at sometimes[8|]. I don't have the first clue which book would be best to buy to help me with identifying bottles. C'mon, all you "experts" out there, give it up and tell us which are the best...

    Please help!

    I CAN'T believe what I'm seeing!!! My mother in law (who was Polish by way of Berlin, Germany) brought one of these bottles with her when she came to the states with my father in law (he being a US soldier). The articles in the bottle are folk representations of the crucifixion and ministry of...

    What are Codd bottles?

    Hi all, I just got back from Destin FL and was in a small shop there which had several CODD bottles for sale. What are these? What was the marble for? I would have bought some because I have seen them mentioned on this site but wasn't sure I would have been getting my money's worth. The shop was...

    Tetanus Shot question...

    Hi Dawny, You can go to your doctor and ask for one if it's been ten years. People usually mistakenly wait UNTIL they get that boo-boo to worry about it but that's probably not the best thing to do. Nurses are routinely asked if they have had one in the last ten years at each yearly physical to...

    What exactly is Capudine?

    I should know this I suppose being a nurse.[8|] But those little bottles "for Headaches" are so common. Almost as common as the little Bromo Seltzers. (I collect those too even though they're not valuable. They are the prettiest color of cobalt!!)

    What's your Occupation?

    I've probably mentioned this before, but I'm a 47 year old Home Health RN. I get to travel the back roads (read "dirt roads") of southern central Alabama. Haven't had the pleasure and excitement of digging anything yet but I'm making a list of abandoned homes everywhere I go. I'll find out who...

    Horror story!!

    I'm a home health nurse who has the opportunity to travel in outlying areas and see several older homes and homesites. I've been "casing out" several for future reference to possibly dig for the outhouse (that's privy to you Yankees). I had a patient who told me her house was over 100 years old...

    Amethyst colored bottles

    I LOVE THIS FORUM[:D] Thanks so much for everybody's help. And yes I am very happy with my purchase. I have all the bottles lined up on the window sill with two very lovely sea green bottles (one a Rumsfield chemical and the other is a McCrudden & Campbell). And Dr. J, you are so right about the...

    Amethyst colored bottles

    Someone please tell me about amethyst bottles. I love the color but seems like I read somewhere that this was artificially created[X(] I just purchased several amethyst bottles (mostly for their beauty but did find one that was pontilled[:)] after I got homeJ). One is a Minard's linament bottle...

    camera help!!!!!!!!

    I am by no means the expert in this but do you have an option to send "thumbnails" of the pics? My program lets me do that and also has an option for sending sizes "best for e-mail". Susan

    Harry, you can find capers in the olive and pickle aisle. Usually around the relish.[;)]

    two mysterious tall green bottles

    RE:capers This is for Harry: I thoroughly enjoy perusing your soliliquies. However, I must take issue with your statement that "people today don't know what capers are". My husband calls them "those green floaty things" when I use them in dishes. For anyone who likes olives (green) or dill...

    We aint got these in the NORTH!!!

    Taz, that's just one of our "littler" pests down here in the South. Did you meet the skeeters too? What I'm worried about meeting are the rattlers. Opp, AL home of the rattlesnake rodeo is about 80 miles from here, but those rattlers come from all over middle Alabama. And alot of the homesteads...
