Here's a new one I've added to the collection:
The $%^# thing is worth at least 10 times more than all the others put together!! [:o]

Here's a link to a cornucopia/urn flask that I sold on ebay last February.
Here's a link to a current auction for the same flask.
Notice any resemblance??!!?? I guess I should be flattered and I'm okay with this, but he better not make a profit!! [:D]
First off, it looks as if all those that made it to the Bottle Show had a great time!! [:D] I wish I could have made it, but it was a little far away, and so I had to entertain myself in other ways. [:)]
I've always wanted one of these, but I could never seem to pry one out of the foundation...
Every wonder what's up with these little guys?? Pretty common, why the round bottom?, what did they contain?...
Here's a bottle of 1988 Chianti from Italy...
See any resemblance? Whadda' ya' think?
It's a beautiful sunny morning and I'm sitting there in the breakfast nook, enjoying my morning beer...(er, uh, breakfast I mean)... Just sitting there admiring the collection. "Man", I'm thinkin', "Don't they all look great up there on the shelf with the sun shining through?". It's going to...
It's cold and rainy here today, and so I just stayed inside most of the day. I got talkin' with the ol' bottle collection, and most of the Teal ones mentioned that they wanted a group portrait taken, so here it is....... (they were pleased with how it turned out).
One of my favorite bottle "go withs" is this desktop secretary, which was supposed to have been made by my great-great grandfather (b. 1824-d. 1914). I've been trying to pin down an approximate year that it was made. I've looked carefully to see if any of the nails in it are cut/square, but...
I finally got it!! I paid a dear penny for it, but it's finally here and it's my new Prized Possession!! Regular 6-log Drake's, but, oh........... the color! Deep Plum Amethyst!! Beyond puce, absolutely stunning, and if I keep carrying around the house looking at it from every window, I'll...

Hey Ron! Thought you might want to see some of the 'Wolfies' occupying my den! [;)]
They do come in some great colors. don't they!!
From left to right...Topaz, Deep Olive, Gasoline/Peach Puce, Grass Green, Citron, Dark Aqua/Teal, and, Light Honey-Amber w/just a touch of Olive. The two on...
This one's smaller than most I've seen. It's aqua, smooth base, and is only 2" wide and 2"tall.
Are there many of these around? I've never seen one this small until now. Here it is next to the usual sized, 2 1/4" umbrellas...
Thanks!
