    2 Cairns sodas

    I read your PM and couldn't find your email in my sister in laws email. So, I tried calling you but no answer. I don't know how to send a PM on this website. I am not very active on the website. I am just trying to finish up business for my sister in laws in regards to her collection. She...

    2 Cairns sodas

    Thanks for helping me find the buyer. These belong to my sister in law and she is fighting cancer, so I joined the forum to help her out. I couldn't remember if I posted them or not and I forgot her user name. Captcadillac

    2 Cairns sodas

    I had sold these pair to someone on the forum awhile (a long while back) but then we moved and they were lost. Well, I found them so if the person remembers who I sold them to still wants them let me know. I think they were $35.00 for the pair plus shipping. If you don't want anymore please...

    post a pic of your bottle display

    A really nice looking display. The flare lips are always nice when they come out with the lip intact. Nice arrangement, What are the two upright papers in the back about? CaptCadillac

    That C N SHEPHARD is a nice one and the Toledo mineral waters is a hard one to find. Over the years I have tried to buy or trade for a Sherpards but always came up short somehow. Here is shot of a few bottles I dug up out of my boxes and added them to my one all types of bottle shelf...

    NOODLING FOR BOTTLES!

    Noodling for bottles is one thing, but noodling for catfish is an extreme sport. I was in N.C. getting a haircut and starting talking to the guy sitting next to me. I like to fish so I ask him if he knew any good fishing holes around town. Make a very long story short he told me about noodling...

    Insulator CD 121 (?)

    Hey thanks for the compliments and confirming my insulators as CD 121's. I have been collecting them for years now and when I would buy one I would ask is this a CD 121 and of course they would tell me they were. However I really don't know insulators very well and for me the other closely...

    West Coast Favorite

    My sister in law bought this one from a digger/collector out of the S.F. area. I think she bought it some years back because I seem to remember it while visiting my brother back in 2005. She told me that he had found in it in some rafters underneath a house. He just washed out with a brush. It...

    Repairing a dug bottle

    Thanks to everyone who posted how they feel about this subject. Great points were made pro and con about if repairs take away the history of a dug bottle. You guys are definitely not knuckle draggers, but have some excellent insights and great thoughts on this subject. CaptCadillac

    Repairing a dug bottle

    I was just wondering what fellow members thought about this subject. There isn't any yes its right or no its not, it simply about how you view the question.. Just wanted to know what people think about it. We talk to death about the merits of altering or not altering a bottle condition...

    Repairing a dug bottle

    Yes museums repair glass and many other things. However, museums have nothing to do with the subject of the what is considered altering a bottle on this forum. Your right, the last time I checked the ten commandments this wasn't one of them. My post simply asks if you repair a dug bottle does...

    Repairing a dug bottle

    I was wondering how fellow forum members feel about repairing a dug bottle. The reason I bring this up because a crack, chip, etc is part of the bottle's history. There has much discussion on this forum as to leaving a dug bottle "as is". Tumbling a dug bottle is the ultimate altering of a...

    For soda collectors

    I just talked to Ray with Glass Discoveries Auctions about consigning a batch of bottles with his next auction. He told me that he already has about 30 sodas for his next auction. I sent him 12 more, so he should have a pretty good selection of them in his next auction. CaptCadillac

    a blue mineral waters

    We have sodas and minerals in our collection with beautiful patina. So beautiful that we have just left them that way. Others have small imperfections and like you we are just happy to have them. While others I'll take Barkeepers Friend and do a soft clean up and leave it at that. Still with...

    a blue mineral waters

    Pontiled or not, that is a really nice example of taper top mineral water. If its the same bottle that I recently saw on ebay, its looked pontiled from the pictures. I did email the seller twice and asked if it was pontiled and about a small something on the inside of the lip and never...
