CT Bottle show additions

[madpaddla]

So I was given some money by my wife to "buy a nice bottle for myself" Went looking for a New London Flask...aqua would of been fine. But there were only two in the whole show......$640 and $440. Welp there goes that idea. On to the next......there was a New London soda that I had been after for awhile. When I get to the table the lady says she will price it to sell. Dropped it from $175 to $100.

Here is the lot I got. Filled a lot of holes in the collection.

Sealed with contents. Cant believe I got this for $60. Empty they sell for $90. Really happy to get this one. I have been wanting one of these for ....well since I began collecting. Just a local well known Bitters bottle. But to get this one with the seal ....WooF !

Here is the pride and joy. Went over to talk with Norm Heckler about my problems of finding a New London flask.....and he asked what I purchased. Told him about the New London blob and he asked to see it. Told me it was very rare and few are known.

This might be very close to a "bucket list bottle". Love this thing.

This was the steal of the day.....and a def keeper. Walking around the tables.....uggg it really stinks when there are no prices. Soooo I reluctantly grabbed this guy. Asked the seller how much.....$10. I snatched it up.

Nice amount of whittle and a pontil base.

Cant believe it was only $10.

Since I got the pontil at such a good price I didnt much haggle on the $20 for this bad lady. Sm lip chip. Nothing horrid.

I love early stoneware. Got this one for $10 so I didnt haggle.
