Ring a ding ding went my door bell, and lo an behold there was a package there. I just recieved a new bottle, it's the one on the right, the other one I've had for a while. They are paper label Mission Sparkling beverages from the 20's and 30's. The one on the left is a Grapfruit, and the other one is the Orange version. There is a lemon version that I have yet to find a good one of. You might recognize the bottles, they are the ones that are black with Mission Dry Beverages or some variant of that wording on the bottom, this is what they look like with their labels.

New day and new stuff to post. First off are the new aquisitions that I have picked up on ebay and the local area.

From left to right: A Canada Dry Club Soda bottle from Bristol, tenn, a flint glass looking Chero-Cola bottle from Bristol, VA-TENN, a straight side Pepsi from Appalachia, VA (this is my first straight side Pepsi), a 32 oz Cheerwine bottle, and a Snow Crest Beverages bank/syrup bottle I picked up today for seven bucks.

The green liquid in the Pepsi is Lime away, I'm hoping to shift a couple of small stains in the bottle.

Now for the coupe degras, It's not a bottle but I have been wanting one of these for a long time. It has been partially restored (painted bezel, new power cord, maybe new glass); however, the face and workings are original and in good shape, and it works. Not too bad when you concider that repros go for nearly two hundred bucks.

I paid $140 for it, maybe got taken a bit, but I don't care because I love it. That tourquoise paint job really sets this piece off.

[ajohn]

Nice clock!!!!!I wouldn't of hesitated at 175.00

 

[morbious_fod]

Thanks guys.

I'd seen the bear bottles before; however, most of the time they were going for nearly thrity bucks. I just couldn't resist at seven bucks.

The clock was originally $160 and I talked them down to $140. I would have been hard pressed to pass it up at $175 as well. I have been wanting one since I started collecting.

Here's one that I got about a month or so ago; however, never got the chance to post.

It's a Kwass & Gross Liquor Dealer bottle from Pocahontas, VA
