Don - did you close your shop? I lost my breath when you took me on a tour of your house. Fantastic collection....Ron

 

[sloughduck]

Yes the shop is closed.I worked for the Local school district for 30 years(retired in 2006) I have been selling bottles,smalls and the like at shows for 34 odd years;mainly to fuel my collecting habits.Just took up to much of my time and since my lady retired its time to go Rving,Fishing and just enjoying retirement.I still have bottles to sell,will probably do the Santa Rosa show,will skip the Auburn show ,time to let new blood into that show.If ya want to come by and look thru show boxes(what I got left)your welcome to do that.Most of the shop was loaded into a truck and taken to Michaan's Auctions in Alameda.Nothing has sold yet as they were still cataloguing.Probably won't make much from the auction,but just didn't want to deal with all those things anymore.I aquired lots from when i lived in my old home(squireled it away for 26 years) Later on I plan to sell all my sauce bottles,mustard bottles,I really liked food bottles.But I also at a later date will let my historical flasks(1/2 pints) go,My nippers and figurals,Chestnuts and pattern flasks.I going to concentrate on building custom fishing rods,I built my first rod at 9 years of age(63 now).I make some nice spinning rods and light saltwater rods.Also have built a couple of fly rods.Its something to do during the rainy season,plus I like putting a good fishing rod in someones hands at a price that is reasonable.You should drop by and see how the old ashop now looks.Still got to figure out how I am going to display my 200 plus collection of essences of jamaica gingers ;just my have to build a special case.

If you decide to sell any spice/mustard bottles from San Francisco please let me know (in the future). I've never seen that many labeled pickles all in one collection. Have to have pickles on my burgers...[8D]

Sloughduck: What can you tell me about the Pin Money bottle? I dug an example earlier this yr. My impression was that it was some type of food bottle because of the typical shape and size. The name really throws me though.....

Pin Money was a pickle company, those bottles held relish..
