New finds...lots of local sodas

[JayBeck]

It has been awhile since I posted here but that is mostly because I have not found much of anything lately. That changed a few days ago when I called about a classified ad I saw in the newspaper for lots of old bottles for sale. I was not sure what I would find but it was less than 5 minutes away from me so I went to go check them out. I was greeted by several boxes filled with bottles and started digging around right away. They were mostly beers and wine bottles but I found some nice sodas and the prices were very fair. You better believe I will be going back soon when they uncover some of the other bottles they say they have stored away.

First is my favorite find out of all of them because I have wanted one of these bottles for a long time. It is a Put-In-Bay Bottling Works which was located on South Bass Island in Lake Erie. This is the only soda bottler I am aware of that was located on any of the Lake Erie Islands.
