Very nice collection,...looks like it took awhile to put together.

RE: Lovely locals
Very nice display, Tim. I would love to do something like that with my large collection of locals, but they all live in glass cases thanks to two mischievous feline creatures. They have never broken any of my bottles, but I have never given them the opportunity, either!
I feel your pain on the lack of squats. My county has only two, one pontiled and one smooth-base. I have them both, but would love to discover a new one or two. ~Jim

RE: Lovely locals
Thanks for the replies everyone. It was a love of local history that got me into bottle collecting in the first place and I've been going strong for almost 15 years now. I don't live in Monroe County anymore but I can trace my ancestry there back to the 18th century and I still feel a connection. I live in the next county over now and have been learning about and collecting the immediate area for about three years.
Jim, I know what you're saying about the dangers of cats and bottles. We have four cats (and two little kids!) so the garage was the perfect place. I can lock the kids and cats out! A few years back I had some really good milks in a box under a window. One of the cats jumped out of the window onto the box and I heard a sickening "POP" from the box. Lost a good one that day.[

RE: Lovely locals
Great group of sodas! I would like to display my locals like that too. The shop is a good candidate, but first I would have to move the deer mounts, a elk rack, a beaver pelt , and a coyote's. The 66 Ford Mustang and 69 SS chevy hubcaps, yard tools, auto tools,auto parts,pocketknife repair parts, hang the selving, then I could unload the dozen large boxes of sodas, meds and stoneware whiskey bottles. Humm , I think maybe a new shed/shop would be better item! Best PA collection I've seen this month!
