Amazing find!

Hi to all,
I met with an old friend today that owned an excavating business since the fifties.
I did a little bartering with hima and came home with an amazing collection of bottles.
One was a cream bottle with a wide mouth. I cleaned it and drank my dinner milk out of it. Milk never tasted so good since the milkman delivered it 35 years ago or so to our door and I drank the cream right out of top. That was heaven. There are some bottle here that I am a little shocked in seeing. I almost do not know what to think. Any ideas?

Go to the menus top of the forum page and click on the help and follow instructions on how to upload a picture. Pay particular attention to sizing, crop as much of the background as possible, or gasp! You'll hear from ROGER or CHRIS!!!!![]

You're in for a pleasant suprise Jarhead! Our members here harken from the 4 corners of the Earth![] The Forum resides in England, Thanks to Roger, we've moderators in OZ, (Australia) - terrible flesh eating people!![8D] stuffy New Englanders ahem, Southern Aristocrats, Mid Atlantic Buttle Junkies, South Western dust diggers, (they don't have real soil down there), California Bottle Dreamers, North Western Hostettler Hunters, Let's see, Mid-western Milk Bottle Hounds, Canadian Royal - Mounted Dump Diggers and on and on and on...... So there's likely to be someone on 24 hrs!

Opps, forgot about the New Yorkers - they just try to keep up with the New Englanders[8D]

Norm,

The pictures are taken and on the computer.
Only there are 13 of them!
If it is not ok to post pictures uncropped then I think that 13 pics would probably go over like a lead balloon. I tried to crop them in Paint but they go off of the screen so that I cannot crop them without losing some of the pic.
Can I email them to members who wish to see them?

Hey Norm...you forgot about us Baker Cityites who collect 3-in-1 bottles and green soda bottles that traveled all the way across the U.S.[]

Welcome to the forum Jarhead...I can't help but wonder what 35 year old milk tasted like though?[]...I just posted a reply on "What is it? After 1900" about milk bottles...do I see a trend here?

Keep on barterin'....
