Richard mailed me 10 of the card stock proofs that he had. I still have all of them but one (a Dr Pepper flavor that I sent to a buddy in Texas for his collection, Liquid Sunshine, if I remember correctly). Since then, I bid on, and won, a box full of them. So, I have probably about 500+ of...
I have lost all the electronic copies of each magazine I did, but have most of them as actual printed magazines. So, I went to the issue mentioned and found:
The At the Auction Popeye item is a crowncap that ended for $162.50. It is different than the one posted, with a sailboat instead of...
Don't worry about it. If Rick still has some of the books left, he is not planning a reprint of it, nor to do another edition. He had said he would give me the files to print it if I wanted to, which I said, yes to give them to me. He said he would, once he found them. I don't have them yet...
Hey, from the horse's mouth, so to speak:
First time I have been in the forum in ages. To give "nutshell" info in comments to the posts here:
First, yes, there is a "4th edition" of the book, if you want to call it there, in the planning stages. For those of you who have missed the...
My pc is still at shop. Usihng Hubby's work laptop to leave post. A message waa leftvyesterday with your son (?) but no return call was made.
I don't understand why no one returns my calls, but I end up being the bad guy somehow, If you have decided you want to dio the book and leave me...
Marc, I have left several messages and even Stanley called at different times than I could. Never got a reply back, nor a return email to answer my inquiry about when was a good time to call. Unless I have the wrong number for you and have been leaving someone else a message, I don't know what...
Oh yeah, one more thing. Marc has the bottles, descriptions and photo credits. I have the rest. Of course, the bottles are the main section of the book, but it will include other information as well as the usual sections of a book, forward, acknowledgements. What Marc has is a spead-sheet of...
Hi everyone. Yes, as Dennis said, I had surgery again about a month ago. Seems my shoulder "exploded" which I found meant everything came apart. It's healing and I am working on getting back to normal, whatever that is. I have also tried for months to get Marc. I've left so many messages on...
Mike Elling collects RC, Nehi and Chero-Cola extensively. If anyone would know, he would. Also, Dennis Smith (celerycola) is knowledgeable about such things.
Mike is good at knowing which bottle was first, next, and so on. Sometimes he knows the significance of things, like the stars. I...
It was to my understanding that Hartman bottled what they called "Mountain Dew" with a paper label, and later the Barney & Ally bottle, before offering a franchise to Tri-Cities. Gordon is credited with having the one and only franchise for Mountain Dew issued by Hartman before tranferring The...
RE: New ACL book
Oops - left off one of the Zs in Fizz.....trouble of typing half-blind with a cast on one arm....
Try this one instead.... http://psbca.thesodafizz.com
RE: New ACL book
I got your order and have it to send to Rick. I'll keep you on the list for the new book, which I expect to have ready in a few months (awaiting files and funds for printing).
Thank you!
For those of you who have inquired, the last edition (Third) can be ordered thru...
The new bottle book is in the works, but not finished yet. It's in pre-order stage now.
Expect to be done with it by mid-summer, and if pre-orders have funds up enough to pay for printing, it will be out around then.
I don't know what email you found, but I can be reached through this...
RE: New ACL book
Yes - there's plenty of time to order. I haven't begun lay-out, nor have I finalized selecting who will print it. So, it will be a little while longer for this long-awaited book.
The Third Edition is the one from 2003, I believe. It is the last one, which is a revised (or...
New ACL book
Oh yeah, re: the new ACL book, did I mentoin that everyone who has pre-ordered the book is getting a surprise when the book is printed? And their pre-ordered books are sent? (I am keeping a list and marking it off twice.....hehe)
There is a hint in the second...
Yeah, I get asked too - about both. I am typing in a cast (yep, but it's coming off Thurs., which isn't any too soon), and as soon as my fngers are turned loose, I will be working on another issue. Then, another after that....until I am caught up (or run out of stuff to put in them....hehe)...
Jimmie's People's Choice was at the FOHBC EXPO in Memphis (2004). It's easy for me to remember cause every FOHBC board meeting we had after that, I got to hear Carl Sturm complain about it and ask to vote on cancelling the Award. He finally hushed about it when Sheldon Baugh brought it up that...
I suppose all of us have some of these bottles (perhaps from different bottling companies and with different names or embossing) in our collections. I have a several of them.
In working with some of the authors, I have had opportunities to see pages from glass manufacturing cataloges. There...
