Man, I hate it when I leave my camera at work! (at least I hope its there)

Went to check out the Baltimore bottle club meeting last night it was a great way to kick off a nice weekend. Saw some nice glass and met some fine folks. Very cool to meet cracked bottle (Marc), brokenshovel (Greg) and baltodigger (John). One of the reasons I went was to pick up the whisky Rhona tumbled for me - looks great and I'll post a before/after when I get my camera back. Also thanks to Chris for the addition to my collection. Got to talk with Doc and many others, looking forward to the next one. Worked outside all day today - awesome weather! My latest ebay goodie also came today, pics to come!!!

Well I moved this thread here cuz I finally found my camera again[&:] and now I've got PICS!
1st up, thanks to Chris at the meeting, I have a brother to go with my favorite E.T. MILLER pontiled York, PA druggist!

I actually got this whisky earlier this year but I'm counting as new because I just picked this up from Rhona at the Baltimore Club meeting and she did an outstanding job tumbling it for me and it was made new again! Here's the before picture....

And here's after!!! Both Rhona and Ry do great work and I'll be sending some more bottles to both of them soon.

Nice druggist. I grew up in York but moved away before I got into bottles. Eventually I'd like to pick up some nice York bottles (like those) for my collection.

I bought this Baltimore seltzer on ebay to add a little color to my Baltimore collection. Not real old and made in Czechoslovakia but it sure does PoP!

I just got this one at an auction last night. It's a Sarsaparilla from a smallish town in Lancaster County, Pa. If anyone knows about Marietta bottles or has a Sarsaparilla book (Taz??) please let me know something. Its a big un over 8 inches tall. W.T. & Co.

At last but not least a big thanks to Greg (Brokenshovel) for one of the free old pharmacy books he was giving out at the meeting!

Hey Cobaltbot That Leibhart bottle is a pretty good bottle . I've seen lots of leibhart medicine bottles but I have only found one broken sarsaparilla. Just a guess but I would think it should go for over $100.00 . I'll find out more and let you know. Don
