Local classifieds find

[Bixel]

It has been a tough year on the local classifieds for good finds. Antique of all sorts, not just bottles, have been tough to find this year for reasonable prices. Even the past few years, I always found some good finds, but not much in the past few months. Mostly just highly overpriced low dollar bottles. I had a guy contact me a few weeks ago with some awesome local stuff, but he wanted somewhere between 2X and 10X the values for his bottles(worst was a $150 bottle for $1000+) Saw this on Kijiji tonight in a small group.(the Canadian craigslist). Got this bottle, with some other $1 and $2 bottles for $40. The bottle is an R.A Pilgrim & Co, Hamilton C.W(Canada West) aqua bowling pin soda. Yah, I would have liked to get the bottle for $5, but you cant always do that. Happy to finally get a good bottle, and a Canada West bottle at that, for a reasonable price. **Sorry for the bad pic, took it quickly and didnt realize until I uploaded it that it was badly out of focus.

Better than most of my photos-- I take good landscapes, but very poor close-ups. It is a very interesting design.

I really like the look of this bottle. Living on the Canadian Border I have dug a few Canadian bottles. I Even dug a complete Quebec milk bottle.Lisa

Way to go, Kyle! Occasionally hardwork on kijiji pays off!
