My local collection

[soda bottle]

Great looking collection! Lots of varients too. I love the local collections and I will keep my eye out for stuff you may be interested in.

Thanks you guys! There really are a lot of variants from these local companies, especially from Ransley, it seems.

hi

As always very nice of you Charlie, do I see a saddle tool in the lower right hand corner of this pic??

Got Charlie's bottle in the mail today... It's a beauty! Thanks a bunch, and I hope you enjoy your bottles too!

This bottle is listed as "scarce" in the source I use for Montclair blob information... I dug a broken slug plate to a different one before, so there's definitely more variants to be found! Got a seltzer bottle coming in the mail, and there's a super blob from Orange on eBay now... expect some more posts in this thread soon!

Nice collection Conner,blobs were my favorite when I was your age also.At one time I bet you I had at least 1500 different blob beers and sodas.I have kept the more ornate ones but I literaly ran out of room to properly display them and had to part with most of them.At the peak of my soda collection in 1977 you could go to the field accross the street from where the Whitney glass works were located and find 40 to 50 blob topped bottles without hardly breaking a digging sweat.What would be kind of neat would be to find a manufacturer to make tight fitting new. but old in outward appearance stoppers so you could bottle your own beer and soda,drink them up rinse em out and start all over again.My wife and I are now drinking our daily glass of red wine in 230 year old wine and dram glasses.You just have to be extra cautious.[8D]

Steve you can use the old porcelain stoppers you just need new washers to make them air tight again....Jim
