Thank you Scott and thank you RCO.
A neighbor of mine, when she moved into her house, found a crate of Baird's vanilla extract. 6 full bottles. She since used them all and tossed them.
No bottles in the Saint John Show but the flea market is coming up and I have some old mason jars to...
Hey Downeastdigger, I am a new guy since you were on last. Are you going to the city wide yard sale in Presque Isle? I will be there looking for Moxie bottles.
Hey RCO, I own that Friar's Balsam. I think I paid 12 for it.
The Veggie worm one is now down to $70 so I think he relies his price is a wee bit high. I loved the ad though.
Some guy who is new to bottle collecting offered me $10 for the six javex bottles. He had some generic no labeled glass...
I have a book guy in Fredericton. He knows I like the old obscure collectible reference books so if something comes up I will find it.
I like your idea of asking around the flea market and getting to know the people there who might have bottles . one of the worst ideas I ever had for finding...
Teal star with 100 percent positive rating. No returns. He seems like the up and up.

Restigouche, a name like that screams Campbellton...
ACL? Excuse my ignorance.
I imagine shipping is killer for bottles. You could have people in NB looking for BC bottles and vice versa.
50s or 60s? We had a Coca-Cola bottling plant in town, I have some receipts from the place, would local bottlers put their name on the bottles??
A lot of my peers went off to that university! I hear you about the price thing. As a coin dealer I hate breaking the bad news to people wanting to retire.
I am in my early 20s so a lot of people my age come up to me with their grandfathers collections (an old ratty 1 and 2 dollar bills) and...
Hello RCO, yes the east cost holds many treasures.
The first thing that pops (pun intended) to my mind is the whole Irn bru thing. Irn bru sold in Canada was always caffeine free do to Canadian laws on caffeine in light coloured soft drinks.
There was a separate drink in Cape Breton Island...
Hello everyone.
My name is Terry and my online handle is "Harmonica". I came to bottles as a coin collector. I do not collect coins exactly, I am more into exonumia (tokens and the like).
I love anything New Brunswick and Maine (with a soft spot for Nova Scotia and Saint Pierre too boot).
