Nice collection John. I have a few Balto pharmacy bottles sitting around. One is an unlisted pharmacy which is pretty cool but its chipped []

Had a great time at the club's monthly meeting last night and was able to add two new steamer sodas to the collection. The first is a City Bottling House/W.J.Wickham with a loop seal rather than a blob top. The other is a Globe Steam Bottling Works/Hermann F. Wims. This one to my surprise was listed as rare. They cost me $5 each.

I wish I could find bottles at the monthly club meetings I go to... I guess I do get them, just not the ones I'm after!

I think I came home with at least one new veterinary bottle after after Baltimore meeting. There was always some very nice stuff for sale.

I was able to make it out to the Baltimore Bottle Show. It was an amazing show and there were defenetly more people there than there were last year. The bottles were great also. I was ablt to acquire 7 new steamer sodas from Balto that I needed. There were very many steamer soda bottles at the show overall, but most I either had already, or they were in terrible condition. Anyway, here are a few of them.
-Far Left: T.W. Heffner-63-Greenmount-Ave-Baltimore. This one is listed as rare in the Baltimore Bottle Book.
-Left: T.W. Heffner-827-Greenmount-Ave-Baltimore. This one is also listed as rare in the Baltimore Bottle Book.
-Right: Henry L. Lemkuhl-Registered-HLL monogram-Trade Mark-Baltimore, MD. This one is also listed as rare.
-Far Right: C.L. May-Trade-very crude looking crossed flags-Mark-Baltimore, MD. This variation is not listed in the book.

Here is the last 3 that I got.
-Left: Bottlers Protective Asso.-Trade-BPA monogram-Mark-Of Balto MD. This was one was a nice upgrade for the sick and chipped on I had before. It is listed as uncommon.
-Middle: William J.B. Shanks-Trade Mark-arrow-Registered-Baltimore, MD. This one is common but I didn't have this version in the round plate.
-Right: George L. McGreevy-Trade GLMcG monogram Mark-Registered-Baltimore, MD. This one is listed as common, but I needed this to replace the damaged one that I had before.

I know some of these were tumbled by the previous owners, but I didn't really have to do any cleaning on these since I bought them already clean.

I haven't posted any of these lately so here are two that I recently bought. I bought the one on the left a few weeks ago and I just bought the one on the right.
-Left: F.B. Cary-Baltimore, MD. This one is listed as uncommon.
-Right: Jacob Wisenauer-Balto, MD. This one is common, but this is by far the nicest example of it I have ever seen.
