Mine was a surface found nugrape embossed double bubble 1920s. The glass was so thick and the bottle very heavy. I was a changed man from that very moment. I have been on the hunt anytime a can. I still have the bottle.

Never bought from this site before. I would be wary of some one hit wonders, some members who sell to each other seem to do okay. A member who sells alot on this format i would consider buying from. There are a lot of great people who like you, love the hobby.

The post office will always be delivering mail. Even if we have a nuclear war they will be expected to walk around the dead and deliver the mail. A store is best and cheapest to list.

And just to be clear you're talking a 1980's dump???? Not sure I'd waste my time on that.
