Hawaiian Soda Bottles Christmas Eve

[808 50th State]

Aloha everyone, thanks for the comments, I haven't dug in a while busy working, final had some time to dig, knew about this location that no one else knows about, final was able to hit the virgin grounds and scored pretty good, had a lot of un-embossed bottles, the newer stuff and final hit the older bottles, the older bottles was pretty sick in glass, my friends who tumbles bottles are cleaning it for me, I will try to post some picture of the result of the cleaned up bottle, thanks earl

Thanks Chris, you guys are still more lucky up the Big Island, in another 10 more years, there will be no more places to dig on Oahu, I know some places where there is bottles but you probably get arrested if you dig there, still looking for a nice amethyst Waialua like the one you dug, one day, aloha earl

Hi Earl, it looks like I will be going to Oahu on Friday, where is a good place to find bottles for sale, I heard of Antique Alley, how far from the airport is that? Aloha.

Here is the gravitator we dug last year. It brought $3,500 on eBay so I can't say I was sad to let go of it !

Chris, antique alley is close to the Ala Moana shopping center it on Kapiolani walking distance from the shopping center, they open usually after 12 pm, the number is 941 8551, another place is Leeward Gold Exchange in Aiea, they have quite a few Hawaiian sodas, jins, whiskey and milks, the owners name is Dwight, 488 9885, antique alley prices are a little high but you can make deals, Leeward Gold exchange is a little cheaper and you can also make deals, I hope this helps. aloha earl

Caldigs, wow nice bottle, I know the new owner of that bottle, the gravitating Hollister bottle is quite rare, according to the Hawaiian Bottle Book of Long Ago, they are 5 or less know bottles and what is so unique is that none has ever been dug here in Hawaii, thanks for sharing the picture, my friend who bid on that bottle and won. told me that it was one of those that he had to have, thanks for sharing earl
