    Evidence that Glass is a Liquid!

    Who's to say it wasn't repaired sometime in the recent past? Maybe with windshield repair materials?

    Someone please stop this person!!!

    If a "nuker" really wants to be on the level they should permanently mark each of their "creations". You can declare all you want that they are nuked when selling them, but what happens when they change hands down the road at an estate sale, or the new owners dishonestly misrepresent them when...

    The McLaughlin Glass Company of Gardena, CA designed a machine for making the 5 gallon water bottles, then shortly after sold the business to the Arrowhead and Puritas Water Company in 1956. One of the McLaughlin sons, Don McLaughlin, continued to make glass at Arrowhead Glass Products Division...

    Owl Drug Company Blog

    You're dead on GLOPTOP. There’s a psychological condition known as Negativity Bias. This is where a person dwells more strongly on negativity. They become engrossed with the fact that spewing out negative information and making personal attacks creates a bigger impact and generates a much...

    Crystal Soda Water Co. S. F. Cider Amber

    Wow, nice score! A few weeks ago on eBay, huh? Guess I need to do a better job of watching and searching eBay--I missed that one. I picked up a specimen at the Reno Expo with a damaged top that was recently dug in Hawaii. Any idea of the origin of yours?

    FOHBC Expo Displays

    It was a great show and the exhibits seemed to go on forever--23 of them I think. My only regret was not having the opportunity to meet some of you. The three days seem a blur as I look back on them now, as there was always something going on every moment. Thanks for an excellent show Marty...

    2012 FOHBC RENO EXPO

    Yes, that is correct, Mike, or if you are a FOHBC member it's $50 (includes spouse and minor children). The four hour period on Friday is actually for dealer setup. To prevent outcries that dealers will be buying up all the good stuff during setup, you have the opportunity and privilege to buy a...

    2012 FOHBC RENO EXPO

    The excitement is really beginning to mount as we enter the one week period prior to the BIG ONE. I’m a little surprised at the lack of chat here on the forum…after all, this is the EXPO! Other than those that already posted, are there others on this forum that are planning to attend? Maybe...

    Hey, what would you pick?!

    Yep, I agree. The Holy Grail for any Western glass collector. While we're at it, order three up for me: green, olive and amber!

    Dirty Pool

    If you really want to make an attempt at confirming this bottle was repaired, place it upside-down in a similarly sized sealed container of acetone or MEK, covering the area of concern. These materials evaporate fast, thus the sealed container. You can check it daily, but give it at least a week...

    Fake Citron Davis Vegetable Pain Killer?

    Positive feedback was left by both buyer and seller, so it appears the buyer was at least content with the bottle and didn't suspect anything unusual.

    Fake Citron Davis Vegetable Pain Killer?

    The easiest way to spot a coated bottle is to look through the the lower base glass from one side of the bottle or the other. If the bottle was aqua and coated on the outside, the color will appear off a bit at this thickest area of glass, usually with a bluish tint. If coated inside, the...
