Hey Bob,

Have you developed super vision while diving? You call that "bigger?" [8D]

I can now, at least, see the nice fluted finish on that bud vase. Have mercy on the sight challenged guys in the back row, will'ya, please.

WTG Bob! Too bad about the Weber but even broken it's a cool find.

What is the beer to the left of the Grafs?

I have seen that design on that bud vase? before but I just can't remember where I saw it or what it was on. No need to thank me for that little bit of help right there. LOL

I'll bet that dude was happy to get his Musky rig back = $$$$$ Your a good man Bob.

You going to make it to the river this summer ?

Surface - sorry about the small pics. I have em bigger but they usually don't upload unless they're tiny. Trying to preserve bandwidth I guess. Try this for the hutch.

Hey Kastoo. Those John Graf 8 sided Weiss beers are not all that rare in these parts. John Graf brewed an awful lot of Weiss beer before prohibition. Oddly enough, though, after prohibition, I think he stuck to soda only. The bottle has an attractive design and are fairly collectible because few bottlers nationwide used this style.

Hey Brian (Geeman),
I couldn't believe it when I saw that barrel. Man, was I excited. I've never ever seen one come out. The beer to the left of the Graf's is an E.L. Husting. Not too rare. Thanks for the hot leads on the bud vase. [:)] The guy (Pete) was happy to get his rod. It was a nice set-up. I'm sure I will see you out there sooner or later. Until then . . .

Antler, you certainly could have one of those eight siders if you'd like. That one has a crown top. I think they are harder to find with a crown but they are certainly no more valuable than the blobs. PM me if you really want it.

Hey Bob,

Thanks for the larger photo of that Hutch. Bandwidth be damned, this is bottle appreciation! Your fan club in the back row thanks you for the viewing pleasure.

Makes all the difference, in my opinion. Thanks!

Hi Bob,
I can relate to your story. I was asked by a stranger if I would look for his friends boat and rods in a lake in April. He explained to me a rouge wave sank his boat and he barely made it to shore alive. It had been about two weeks and when on his friends boat going to the site of the sinking he commented on the growth of the milfoil. I went under and tried to lay out a grid but the stuff was so thick it was impossible. 2 hrs later and I still could not find it. (I often wonder if there is a market for milfoil as a fertilizer or feed).
I like the barrel maybe you could make it into a drinking glass. Hope you find a whole one. Kevin
