Do the Bottle Auction houses report the amount you receive from selling through them? I'm sure that a certain dollar amount is required by law to be reported, but is that figure for a single bottle sale or cumulative for the entire year? Thanks...Tons
I've been playing with the pictures I use for my laptop background slide show and thought I would share.
This first one is E.J. Rose's Magador Bitters....
I know a lot of you back East recover Civil War bullets on your digs. I saw this picture on-line and could not pass it up. Hope it is useful to some of you....Ron
Enjoy your night tonight. I hope the kids back East are able to set aside a few minutes for a candy tradition...Ron
Borrowed this picture from a friend who posted it in FB....
These look interesting. Anyone (Red) know how they are used? Are these molds used to make the actual bottle molds?
Thanks for looking.......Ron

An article in the paper this morning said gas prices will 'surge' this week in California. They listed several small reasons, a fire here and power outage there, for the rise in prices. Lately, I've been paying between $4.05 and $4.10 here, although I have seen prices from $3.96 to $4.35.
I...
Saw these on eBay and thought they were interesting. I don't recall seeing these before. Anyone else collect these or have one or two in your collections? Thnks..Ron

John W. Cope's Mt. Shasta Kidney and Liver Cure has been on my want list since I first created the list! Very rare cure. I took a big gamble because all four sides and the bottom were encrusted with marine grown. It came from the mud in San Francisco bay. I wasn't sure if the glass under the...
I have a new son-in-law!! Saturday Wedding and it was a smashing success. I've known Dan for three years and am thrilled to have him in the family. They are both Geeks when not in school or working, so it was a Geek Themed wedding. I marched her down the aisle to the Doctor Who theme. There...
Hi RED - this is the bottle I was telling you about. I'll have it in the mail Monday. It's a Hay's Hair Health. It looks like they tried to smooth down the original mold and re-use it for the same product. Not really sure, but that's why I'm sending it your way. Hope it's something new for...
ABCR (Australia) is holding another bottle/glass auction. They always have a good selection of Codd Bottles and Ginger Beers, plus interesting Medicines. pickles, and others that we don't see here in the states. Their descriptions are good (this for a $10 Codd):
Condition: Fair. Has been...
Has anyone here ever been asked for their Facebook password during a job interview? Or been asked questions about age, race, religion or other 'illegal' questions. I read an article this morning about this topic and the comments section was full of people saying it was common practice.
My Daughter (in Alaska) asked for a picture of an ink well, one that I liked and was a bit unusual. I still don't know what she needs it for. I took and sent this picture along with a couple of pictures from different angles and thought I would share while the film was hot (film??). Enjoy...Ron
I added photo's in Photobucket of new additions to my Kidney Embossed Bottle collection. The Oregon Kidney Tea below is one of my favorites, but you can watch a slide show of them all at (click 'View as Slideshow'):

This Medicine Bottle list is from the nps.gov site. It's a PDF file, last updated in 1997, and is 357 pages long. I was able to identify quite a few Kidney Embossed bottles that I do not have. My 'want' list just keeps getting bigger and bigger...
These four bottles are up for auction and may be overlooked as they don't usually do bottles....I have to claim ignorance about flasks, what do you think - repo's? Looks like a good price....
Here's the link if anyone is interested...
There is a Coke Bottle (label only) referenced in the Current Auction and Sales Forum that is listed in eBay for $3,000. I would not touch a labeled bottle for that kind of money, but I have to ask, "What is the highest price you have ever seen paid for a non-embossed, labeled bottle?". Are...
