A friends father passed away recently and he called me and said he had some Mission soda bottles. I drove over to offer my condolences and advise him on what he might have. Most I think are common. But he did have a few with the city names on them. Help dating and if the city's are desirable. I...

I found this bottle this past weekend at a flea market. I've searched and searched and find nothing. At first

Saw this one today but I don't know much about beers. I tried to research it but the LTD. Is skipped in the time lines I found. Can anybody pin a date down. Only other one I can find is on Bruce's site. #12 under Ohio. Is in fair shape and the price is low. 20$. I have an aqua quart size and...
Picked these up this past weekend. The pistol I'm sure is a candy container. The pinch bottle I know nothing about. Seams on all three sides that disappear at the base of the neck. Ground neck for stopper. 9 1/2 inches tall. It looks like the designs were done with a cutting wheel of some kind...
So Saturday about 4:30 one of the antique shops I frequent calls me and asks, "You collect Shreveport bottles, right ?"
