I made a post in a local FB group asking about the Houston Dairy, if anyone had info, etc. Someone posted these pics. Anyone ever seen one?
Side note: If anyone has one they would sell I would be VERY interested!
Not really any damage, other than a botched glue repair. I think the glue gave it some white fog inside? It was already kinda foggy when I got it, like it was tumbled with a rougher grain. This one has its drug store's location embossed towards the bottom. $3 + shipping.
Yeah, one Oscar Dilly med that needs the top glued on, a Spring bank embossed soda, and a Springer bros panelled soda. The sodas are in storage so that'll be a few days, but I can get a pic of the med in the morning.
Lex KY Nugrape. Has a chip on the "imitation" on one side, as well as some fleabites and staining. Displays well from the non chipped side, although a tumble would do it good.
$10 + shipping
Will post more in an hour or two
Tiny Paracamph Jar, Louisville KY. Has a cool huge bubble on the back. There is nothing on this bottle/jar that can't be taken away with a light polish, mostly just light dirt and staining.
$3 + shipping
A.L. Coleman Frankfort KY soda. Very strong embossing on this one. Has a few flea bites, a scratch on the rear, and some wear but nothing horrible. $10 + shipping.
PS additional pics of any of the bottles are available upon request, I did not have much time when I took these.
First up, a pint size Hazard Ice Cream Co. Hazard KY milk bottle. Has a small chip on the heel and one scratch running along the back. Otherwise in nice shape, with maybe a flea bit or two. $15 + shipping.
If I were to post a classified on a decent sized collection of Kentucky bottles to sell individually, would there be any interest here or would it be a waste of time? Some are harder to find, a couple are unique, most are common if you live in the area. Most are sodas, a few are meds, and 2 are...
I bet if you give some slicks or common bottles to an artist/craftsman they'd be able to find a use for them. I know some people have been able to remove the bottom of beer bottles and use them as lampshades. Could probably work with slick Cokes, slick beers, etc.
There is probably something...
I found an amber Crush at an antique/vintage store when I was like 10, have been hooked ever since! Bottles aren't my main thing though, that'd be antique vacuum cleaners(profile pic is my oldest).
