Great bottles. Thanks for sharing. I have always felt the same way you do. I also am a family man but could never pass up a rare local colored soda.

Joe,

I spent 20 years just looking through books drooling over the great Stoddard medicines, and when I actually had opportunities to buy them, I did so! Yes, it is always painful financially, however, the sacrafice was well worth it. I am a family guy, so I make sure that I never deprive my family of anything... but as for me... I would eat spaghetti every night for a year just to buy a great bottle! OK, it would still have a meat sauce with some vegetables... need to stay healthy!

Thanks for the compliments.

Mike

I like to eat spaghetti.... as a matter of fact, I like to eat...period!!!

I love the small JQ Hill - is the lip on that one the same as the one on the small utility you sold on ebay recently?

Mike, thank you for posting the photos of your exceptional bottles. You are one of the only people in the world (literally) who owns and handles such a high level of bottles, without taking on an elite snotty attitude. You are always friendly and approachable, and share your unbelievable bottle collection with people who love to see them. And you aren't showing off, you are always smiling and enjoying watching people drool over your bottles, but in a good way. If it wasn't for you, I would never have seen or held some of those bottles.
thanks!
ps I didn't know you had a Howards, how long have you had it long?

As the son of a Vermont Bottle collector who could never afford the I Newton's, all I can say is "WOW!" Some awesome New England glass there.

Mike I would like to echo Brams comments. I always enjoy seeing your photos and reading your posts. Your collection is truly amazing, you should publish one of those coffee table books with all those beautiful bottles in it. Something we can look at while eating spaghetti.[:D] Kevin
