[align=center]at home, hanging around the house, so i thought i would post some pictures of bottles from the last haul, hoping to get some feed back from the gang because they are all new to me. t.o.c. bottles i know, so I'm guessing they are all pretty

nice..............[] I wish I'd gone.

Is that sutter and filmore st bottle and San Francisco bottle?

 

[NorCalBottleHunter]

im pretty sure it is from s.f., wilk

 

[Wilkie]

Well Nick, I hate to break it to you, but that Donlon-Aquirre bottle is listed with a #5 rarity in Millers book. That means it is only "extremely rare"[] VERY GOOD FIND Nick, Congratulations!

 

[NorCalBottleHunter]

Thanks for the info, tim. That's great! I'm a little surprised since that bottle looks to be t.o.c. era.... I should probably reserch the company a litte more find out how long they where in business. I need to get that book!

 

[Wilkie]

From what I hear it can no longer be purchased new, the book. If you want to try though, his address is:
Edrick J. Miller
3257 Idaho Lane
Costa Mesa, California 92626

Seems to me he should be able to go to Kinkos and have another dozen or so printed up. The books are not professionally bound, they are just copies with a plastic binding like you could get at any copy store. Otherwise, you can "hope" to find a copy at a bottle show.

Cool, thanks, tim. Amd you let me know when you are able to get away from work, minus tides are dissappearing but I went ahead a month or so and they'll be back, maybe then?

 

[Wilkie]

Next time around I will mysteriously come down sick and call in. Actually, it won't be a lie, I'll have a bad case of the bottle flu.

Nick, that prescription dates approximately from 1907-16. The style lasted into the '30s before it was replaced by metal caps and hard rubber or plastic screw tops.

 

[NorCalBottleHunter]

Deal, Tim! Sounds good. That's been going around lately, so I've heard...

Mike, thanks for the info! To me, The history behind a bottle is just as fasinating as the bottle its self, bottles can be great conversational pieces and so I like to know the history, again-thanks
