Nothing in my area of collecting in this particular auction. Local and low-end is what I'm looking for. But for the rare exceptions...

I'd love to have the Byron Acid Spring Water or the blue green Willington pickle.

I thought that was the one you showed us on here earlier this year. A rare beauty.

ORIGINAL: truedigr

I got pretty lucky finding that bottle this year. Best investment of $20 I ever made. In 20 years of digging and collecting, this is definitely the best bottle I will ever have owned. Kind of like the highlight of my bottle career. I'm very happy where it is at, and can't wait to see what it will do. Robert
