I was all dressed up today!Heck, I was contemplating taking a blanket to the movies last night.I might have been brought up in the midwest,but I've lived in Ca.long enough that anything under 60 is COLD.

I wonder how long it will take to reverse the effects of your temperature conditioning.. how long did it take to get this way? []

 

[PrivyCheese]

WOW!!!!! Boy I never thought I would be the person to bring down a party....I was always the one drinking eggnog and wearing the lampshade. Now I feel like everyone is pointing at me saying "your the one who told little Joey there was no LobeyClause". I actually enjoyed the whole LobeyClause Christmas event last year. My intentions were very positive. I also feel like eveyone here is apart of my extended family, although I might be the blacksheep of the family.


I asked for an adress in the now "defunct" thread and did recieve ONE response. To that person you will recieve a very nice gift, In the spirit of Christmas and becuse I believe in LobeyClause. I will request an address on the stipulation that it will be a one way deal. I will be more then happy to send someone some Baltimore cheer.(Thanks Matt)

To Osia, Its all good brother...I wish you nothing but holiday cheer.

Hello digswithstick; That is a nice bottle you have pictured, that you got last year. I noticed that is old enough to have the plain bloc C without the tongue up on the top of the C. I had to write to you and ask if it had any unique makers marks on the bottom. I have been studying a lot of these bottles, because the demand for large quantities of bottles at that time to satisfy the Mineral Water market. At that time they had to do a lot of innovative things to make bottles faster, and I have studied them to see when the innovations showed up in the making marks on the glass. The Half-Leaf Mold Cavity shows up on a lot of them. I was able to date the beginning of when they started chilling the iron of the mineral water bottles to remove the cold mold ripple in the glass. I was also able to identify the approximately year when they started to shoulder vent the molds with a small (Approcimately #70) twist drill to let the shoulder forming blow against the mold in that area, better than before.

Just curious and if you have any questions, feel free to ask about any mysteries that are on them. RED Matthews
