Hello everyone! It's been quite a while since I've posted, but I have a good excuse. I've been in college out of state and haven't had much time (or money for that matter) to devote to collecting. However, I have been able to focus on my collection of local bottles which has grown since the last time I posted. So, for those of you interested, enjoy. For those of you who aren't interested, at least these pictures are recorded for posterity.

First up is the Hi-Klas company of Lansing, MI. L-R is its predecessor: Hire-Klas, Hi-Klas deco and Dr. pepper put out by the company.

Okay... That did not work. I have a lot of pictures coming and wanted to save some hosting space. I guess I'm just challenged and will do things the good 'ol fashioned way. So much for college, huh?

Two variants of the seltzer bottle and a box. Anyone have any tips for photographing these things? It's hard to get the labels to show up.

I've also been fortunate enough to pick up some tin signs
