Baltimore Show Finds

[jpoff430]

Thanks LC. Im not exactly sure of the age. They used the flats from 1935 into the 1960's. All I can say for sure is that it is sometime between that. There are slight variations on these Dutch Lunch cans but I dont know enough to date it more specifically. Ill have to do a little research. Im sure someone on here might be able to answer that though. The old one I had was pretty faded and a little rusted. That one also had Santa Rosa California as the location of the brewery but this one says Los Angeles. I assume they moved at some point and Im sure thats one way to date it. This one still has great color to it and the price was right for me. I like that you can find stuff like this at the Baltimore show too. Its a great show and Thank You to all the Baltimore guys that help put it together.

Didn't get to the show until noon but I enjoyed my 3 hours there, bought a little and had a great time talking to folks and then eating later with Rick and Dave at John's house - thanks John!

Here's the group shot:

The canning label is a copy but one of only three items I've ever seen with my now home town of Bryansville, Pa on it.

In my buy a damaged one as a placeholder until you can really afford flasks category here's a Fishlerville/ Jenny Lind flask I bought to match another calabash flask in that category that I bought at Shupp's Grove a coupla years ago. There is a small crack on the base of this one, I bought it for $23.

I can't find the damage on the summer tree/sheaf of wheat flask. There is a tiny flash that looks like it could also be a bubble. The seller thought it was damaged though and charged me $25 for it.

A Richardson's Pharm bottle (in middle) from Bel Air or blair MD where I grew up - needs cleaning!
$20

 

[cobaltbot]

Never bought a poison before but I liked this little guy for only $20. Ones exactly the same but with S&D on the bottom for Sharp & Dohme I saw for sale from $80 - $120.

The backward Z bromo was $25.

I love that poison you got with the skull and crossbones. I don't collect them but I was tempted to get one too. There was a lot of really neat poison bottles down there.
