MK Paine's VT Green Mt Boy's Gilead Plaster Poster

[epgorge]

Here is something I have been trying to get for the past ten years. All things come to he who waits.I just picked this one up last week. My newest pride of the collection.

A picture, unfortunately doesn't do it justice. You need to see this in person to really appreciate it.

Green Mountain Boys MK Paine's of Windsor, Vermont, Poster. It is the 1868 store advertisment. It is 16 and 1/2 inches by 20 inches.

Do you have any MK bottles?

Only the Paine's celebrated celery (amber) bottle, with label, which was a gift from Cookie here on the forum.

That bottle, actually was from an era after Paine, when Wells and Richardson & Co. had purchsed the rights to that concoction.

I have bid on the milk glass one before a couple of times but both times it went for more than I wished to spend at the time.

Do you have any Vermont bottles for sale or trade?

Very nice bottle. How tall is it? I believe there are two different sizeds of that milk bottle. thatone looks like the larger one of the two.

Do you wish to sell it? Do you want to trade for it? What do you collect?

Joel,
Sure,we can work something out.I've collected a little bit of everything over the past 15 years,but I'm just figuring out I'm really a jar kinda guy.
I'm just settling down into a new place,so I have to remember which box she's in.I,ll dig her out this weekend and send you some pics.
