    Here We Go Again or "the Bodie Factor"

    Oldtimer, Out here in the west Bodie is considered THE ghost town. Lots of folks talk about the Nevada ghost towns, but for being able to see a real untouched town that is in a arrested state of decay, Bodie be the place. The town belongs to the State of California and is a state park. No...

    Here We Go Again or "the Bodie Factor"

    The A.B. Stewart Bodie drug had a buy it now for $1200. It was bought within the first hour it was listed. About 15 to 18 of these Stewart Bodie drugs have sold in the last few years and each time one sells it goes for a little higher price than the last one. Anything from Bodie is gold!

    Two Babbs on the bay

    AP Hotaling's Babb closed at $190 Dookscoop's at $204 - Dookscoop's Babb was bought a few months ago from American Bottle Auctions for $350. Add the 12% buyers premium, California sales tax, shipping & handling and it looks like someone took a beating to own the Babb for a couple of months.

    The Babb listed by dookscoop sure looks like it spent a bit of time in the tumbler. And how about ol'dookscoops description. Would you buy a bottle from this wound tight feller?

    New blogsite for western glass collectors

    I believe they are. The Turner Bros. sold their west coast depot to McMillian & Kester in 1865 but continued in business in New York until the 1870's. McMillian & Kester were the sole agents on the Pacific Coast for the Turner Bros. products after 1865.
