No, sorry but I don't how to post a link to it.
What does everyone think about the color?

My Brother in law knew Rudy from NoCa bottle shows. They used to sometimes share a table. but most of the time they just talked. My brother in law really thought the world of Rudy. He said that Rudy was was one of the nicest people you could ever meet.
My brother in law asked him for his email...
I have just two dairy bottles both are from Hawai'i'
This one is a Pioneer Mills Co from Lahaina, Maui'i. At one time the company owned (figuratively) Lahaina. It also came in a short neck bottle.
My husband grew up there.
The other is a qt. Kona Dairy which is supposed to be rare. A friend...
I have been skunked on various auctions (including auction houses) by sniper bidding. I hate when it happens (who does).
However, I understand why bidders use it. If your away from your computer, you can still bid on an auction.
I am not against it or for it. Sure, I could use it as well. I...
This is a light teal (not an aqua) Swaims Panacea from Philda. Smooth base with strong embossing and a tooled top (may be an applied, hard to tell). The condition is excellent with just some light small scratches, hardly notice them.
$35.00 plus shipping & tracking. Shipping will be based on...
The E. Wagner from Manchester, NH is a very beautiful a honey orange, amber yellow with strong embossing, excellent condition with some added crudity, some bubbles with a tooled top. The yellow really comes out with any kind of back lighting.
The second bottle is an I/P soda from Brooklyn N.Y...
Here is a big O/P.
Its from a Wendall bottle. I think that it was a food bottle, not sure.
Nice bottle. I think it came from Randy Taylor a long time ago.

I am new to collecting insulators, so I don't much about what they cost.
So, I was offered an CD 121 dark yellow green U.S. tel close to mint for $40.00. Is this a good price or is it too high?
Thanks,

I want to bring up the subject of altered insulators.
I have seen on ebay some sellers that have altered their insulators. Some sellers are open about that they have altered them, while others you have to look hard at the description to find words like altered, repro, painted, etc.
How do you...

This one is from a H. Melle & H.Gottke soda from Cincinnati. It has a lot of the iron still intact and the bottle itself is really crude. The pontil push up is much narrower than most my other I/P s. This one came from Ebay.

I am cleaning out my boxes of dug bottles and came across an interesting embossing.
So, I was wondering if this means anything or not.
I have two light green applied tops I/P Dyottville sodas that are in the same form, tops, etc.
One is about a 1/4" taller than the other.
The shorter one...
I didn't know if I should post this here or in he digging finding forum. I found it in one of my boxes of stored bottles that I am getting rid of. I can't remember where it came from or anything about it. Its the nicest bottle in my junk/dug bottle boxes by far.
Funny thing is that I had...
Well, it always a little hard to follow the kid and his great bottles (no joke).
However, my brother in law surprised me with this bottle that he won for me at auction. I have never had a taper top cobalt one of these with an I/P. He probably won it from someone on the forum, if so thanks for...
My brother in law bought a bottle on ebay. He paid with Paypal. Bottle arrives, total rip off. I tell him what to do. He contacts seller, they threaten him with the FBI, some type of fraud squad b.s. accusing of wanting to steal this crap of a bottle.
So, he contacts ebay and presents his...
Here is another group shot of some bottles that I had mostly in storage. I put another display case ((yeah display case, more like a book case) up for my other bottles and insulators.
After I took the picture, I think I should have added more bottles. It looks a little scarce.
