Much to my suprise, I received a call from JoetheCrow earlier today about a package he received safely from Rockbot in Hawaii. The contents were clearly marked as to whom they were for, Joe, Laur or myself. One of the finest and classiest bottle packing jobs I have ever seen. The initial off white paper wrapping (under layers of bubble wrap) on each told when and where they were dug and from what year the site was occupied.....Rarity was even explained. Some awesome bottles.

I remember going back and forth by PM with Rockbot a few months back about some of the cool bottles he has dug and their rarity. Chinese, Occupied Japan (OJ), cobalt Japanese poisons...WOW, I never saw the bottles coming! Joe will post some pics later.

There are some amazing class acts on this forum who are so very generous in many ways...gentlemen like Gunther who is always willing to share his time and vast bottle knowledge to Rockbot who shocked some folks in the Pennsylvania backwoods nearly half a world away with some of the most unique bottles they will ever have.

Thank you gentelmen and thanks to the forum!

Hurry up and posts the pics Joe.

Regards,

PD
