Back to the Old dump

Did a little googling at lunch and found out that the Little Red Riding Hood figurine was probably a fairing. Had no idea what a fairing was, so I googled that. Appears that a lot of small figurines were made specifically for the fair buisness to be given away as prizes. Another category of collecting that I never knew existed. I know that the piece I found is absolutely worthless. But I got a history lesson and learned things that I didn't know, just by throwing the thing into the bucket. That is one reason I like this hobby so much. Everyday there's something new, and the more you research the more you learn. You all have a blessed day and if I find anything of interest I'll post. Buster.

Hey Buster, was checking again about info on the Louisville Cheros. Do you have any pictures of them? Thanks. Tom

I'll snap a pic tonight and post. It's not that great of a bottle. The ones I find are broken to bits. Just hoping one day to hit a spot that has enough to share a few. This bottle (a good one) has eluded me for 40 years.

Thanks! I'd love to see the picture.

Here you go TD. It ain't much to look at. This thing is in pitiful shape. Has a nice amethyst color. But it's the only one I have that still has the crown top intact. For whatever reason the glass in the clear Chero Colas did not hold up very well.

Arrrrrrrrgggggg. []Picture came out too large. Try again.

Louisville, Ga.

The bottle has heavy mold seems that end about two inches below the top. So I guess that this would be a mold blown, tooled lip. The neck is not straight on this bottle.

Almost forgot. It's pronounced "Lewis-ville, Ga. ". Not like "Louie-ville, Ky.". Just a Sourthern thing I guess. Here's the base.

Yep, it is "Lewis-ville". My wife works that area with her job. It is about an hour away from me here in Washington. Thanks for the great pictures.

I'd love to have a partial bottle for my Chero collection if you were interested in selling or trading. Send me a PM if you would be interested. Thanks again!
