I was at seminar at Clarion @ 81/Moosic St. yesterday & had lunch at Chick's Diner . If you can send some pictures I could get an idea of what you have . I have to go to Gouldsboro sometime soon to pick up a bear rug from Taxidermist . My cell is 570-499-2902 & email is edndlm@earthlink.net . Thanks Ed Nikles

pick up a bear rug from Taxidermist

really? please dont post and photos of you on it[]

Matt , The Bear rug would need to be larger than that for me , if you remember I'm a big guy ! LOL .

rdr570 ... Yes , I can get cell phone pictures via email or MMS on my BlackBerry . I look forward to seeing some pictures . The ones with embossing ( writing ) on the glass are best to photogragh first , as names & towns will help identify the bottles . Be careful , if any have paper labels , not to damage the labels , if possible . A few pictures can also help give an idea as to age of the bottles in general . About 19 out of 20 blind bottle calls don't pan out well , but those that have pictures work out much better for both parties . Ed
