I remember once when I was a youngster, my Mother caught me in a lie, and I will never forget what she said to me. She said to me, IF YOUR WORD IS NO GOOD, THEN YOU ARE NO GOOD EITHER. Well, I try to be as honest as I can be, but it seems I am still told at times by People that I am no good !! What the devil is that all about !!!

Tony, I was conversing with G A C some time ago as for how to display round bottom sodas. I went out in the shop one evening and spent a couple of hours piddling trying to come up with a sensible way of displaying them. The pics below is what I came up with. I tried to contact Ginger Ale Collector, and have never heard back from him. I never thought about going ahead and posting these ideas on the forum to share with all the other Folks in case someone else may want to try something like this. Well, actually, I did think about it, but was afraid everyone on this forum would see just how NUTS I actually am ! AHH , what the heck. There would be different ways to use those below, they could be incorporated into the front area of a wide display shelf, or at the back of one for that matter. I was also thinking about building me another display cabinet like the ones I have made for use in my hallway only make the shelves strictly for the round bottoms, or maybe just one shelf, for say six or seven round bottoms, and then straight flat shelves for flat bottom bottles. For that matter, if the slot system was used, you could put the slots in all the shelves for where you wanted to set the flat bottoms in it, as the bottoms of the bottles would set over the slots without any difficulty at all, or if you had more round bottom you wanted to display later, you would have the option to hang more of them in the same cabinet. I am also adding a shot of one of the cabinets I built for in the hallway to show you what I was referring to .[/align]

Double slotted depending on the width of the shelf.

This is one of the cabinets in my hallway, try to visulize the slot if it were in the center of the narrow shelves such as these. If you used the slot, and had one shelf with round bottoms, you would still be able to display fair size medicines and so forth on the front and the back of the shelf where to blob top of the round bottoms came through the top side of the shelf.

I may try one of the ideas as for the slot, and build me another display cabinet just to see how it would work out. I think the slot would work well. The only thing about using the slot, is that the necks of sodas vary as for width.
The ones I used measured like 7/8, 1", one almost 3/4". In order for it to work, you would have to know the different widths of the bottles you had in advance, and make a slot that would start out at the smallest Dim., and increase the slot to fit the others as well, to insure a good snug fit to prevent them from falling out of the slot.

you could try to make something to fit into the hole and make it smaller

That wouldn't be a bad idea either Tony, the water would magnify it and make it look bigger, as well as make it look cleaner if it is stained some by being wet,, or I think it would wouldn't it ?? Lord! I am getting punchy.............

I did actually thnk about that Spence, but did not come up with any ideas at the time, but I am sure there would be different other ways to make them set in tight, it would just take some more thought.
