Through a digging friend of mine, I met another bottle collector here in GR! Never knew there were others. I went over to her house last week, and there was some cool stuff sitting around. She was using a cobalt script jug from Belmar as a doorstop though! [:eek:]

Anyway, yesterday she gave me several boxes of her bottles, that hadn't seen the light of day for over 10 years! I went through two boxes on the spot, and picked out the best stuff. Then, I brought one unopened box to the NJABCA meeting to open it on the spot! The excitement was palpable as I pulled out some bottles. There was a collective groan when the last one I unwrapped was a Listerine! [8D]

Here's the meeting...

Here's the stuff that came out of the box at the meeting... Some good stuff there. A "TILLINGHAST" milk from who knows where, a Pepto Mangan Gude, and others which will get their own posts.

The woman dug most of these bottles on Staten Island, if that helps with the origin.

Where do I start... Hm! Here's a "RAMSEY'S TRINIDAD BITTERS". Embossed with that around the shoulder and on the base.

Much of this stuff will end up on my table at South River... Any ideas on approximate value are appreciated.

Dunno if this is old or not... It's BIM, but I don't know squat about it.

Sure you can have My Wife, Charlie! Although your wife's fine, I don't know why you'd want another... [8D]

No obvious tooling marks, but the side seam stops before the lip.
