...and I had a great time . I was looking for a colored pontiled medicine for $100 or less (yes I know , keep dreaming) . I found a dark green one , but most of the neck was gone and the embossing was very weak . The seller was asking $60 , I would have paid $20 but because 80% of the neck was missing I didn't want it anyway . I did get a pontiled Dr. D . Jayne's Alternative , 7" high , in green aqua , very good condition , for $50 . [:D] . I also got three prohibition era , highly embossed , amber , pint size whiskey bottles from Canada , for $8 each . One has no name on it , but it has the bust of an 18th century Naval officer (probably an admiral), with sailing ships in the background , embossed on it . The bottom has the Owens logo , circle over a diamond with a "0" on the left side of the diamond and a "2" on the right side , and under the circle is the number "5" , so I guess the bottle was made in the US and shipped to Canada . The other two bottles are made in Canada , one is Bourbon de Luxe Whiskey , the other is Jessie Moore American Pure Rye Whiskey . Although these bottles may not be rare they look really cool .

Hey whosyerdaddy , I welcome you too . It seems all the bottles I really like , start at $200 and go up from there . Unfortunetly , I have rich man's tastes and a poor man's pocket [:D] . Tbecton , welcome to the fourm , sorry to hear you got a speeding ticket , I've gotten 1 or 2 myself [:D] . Watch out for cars parked on the shoulder with thier trunks up , and if cars ahead of you are hitting thier brakes , don't speed up and go around them (don't ask me how I know this) [:D] .
