hey everyone.I had a lot of fun looking at all the bottles at the Baltimore Bottle Show today. I spent 110 and took home ten bottles. They were mainly flasks but I got a couple of milks in there too. Please post pics of what you guys got too. I'm sure everyone would love to see. Well here are mine.

Today was a great bottle show... but not for me. I had a hard time finding any NJ bottles at all, let alone bottles from the towns I'm looking for! I ended up finding one local I was looking for, and had to pay $20 for it. All in all, an astounding number of bottles there, just VERY few I was looking for. I think I'll stick to NJ shows only from now on...

The bottle I got is nice nonetheless. It's a 10.5 inch tall aqua blob top something. Could be a beer or soda. It's very whittled and crude, so I estimate it's from the 1870's. Not pontilled. It's a pretty large bottle. It has "J. W. RANSLEY & SON/ EAST ORANGE/ N.J." embossed in a tombstone slugplate. On the other side, it has "THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD".
I found from the website "sodasandbeers.com" that this bottle used Cunningham's Disk Stopper. According to the site, it was only used on 3 bottles, two of which were by the inventor's company itself. It was an unsuccessful closure type, which might make this rarer. Maybe... What do you think?

I can't remember without looking up old post; would a Emilio Grnadi from Kingston, N.J. be a town you're interested in?
