Tom,
You're welcome. Glad to help out. You'll probably be able to come up with something I need, down the road.
Just post a picture when you get it back.

Hey Tom,
I have about 10 wisconsin blobs here, but only two in front of me, right now.
Care to venture an approximate value on the two?

Belle City Brewing Co Racine Wis amber pint blob, non dug, original closure. near Mint

Mishicott Brew'g Co Mishicott Wis Amber Qt blob, near mint.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,
Both bottles are circa 1890's and are listed as RARE in Wayne Krolls bible on Wisconsin breweries and their bottles. This basically means that they hit the category of which big collector doesn't have an example. If two or more go at it they could hit 75-100 plus dollars. I'd say safely $50.00 minimum each. I collect Southeastern Wisconsin bottles and here is a shot of this past week diving! One Fort Atkinson Wis, and two Milwaukee Pottery beers from the time of the civil war! Now that is why I do the whole scuba diving thing in nasty rivers!
Thanks again Bill!
Tom

Bill, and Rick!
Here is the next one being shipped out to Rick for a tumble. I found it yesterday and is a very early Chicago beer bottle. I believe it may be quite rare! Just cannot find out anything on her yet! Rick let me know when it can come out for a good spin in the machine.

IT will be posted soon. my wife is going to put the final touches on it tonight.


and thats it on bottles for me till i am better, it is to much to ask the wife to do that plus her job and house work, it was working out for a while, But like a good wife she just wanted me to have something to do.

See you all soon i hope. any emails can be sent to ricjkern@ptd.net

Thanks to all of you

I have to get a new radiator in the van today and will send it by thursday. i will post a picture later today.
Thank god for a good wife who has been my right arm for the past 4 years with cleaning all the bottles for me. I would pack most of them and she would do the lifting for me, Once my condition heals i will be back in full swing,
they say with chronic pain come depression, thats an under statement for sure. ever sence this old guy hit me from behind his lawyers say if i can lift a pen i can work, what a bunch of a**holes, the old man said "if i was not there this would not have happened" dah.. no kidding.....
sorry for the rant, just want every one to know how it has been,
then on sunday last week my computor fried big time, lost all my email addresses and and my excel program pictures every thing is gone,
