- Grantman's

- Viking ( neat bottle with VIming axe on reverse )

- Harrison's Heart O Orange ( nice embossed and ACL, any info, I could nto find this one online )

- Sprig

- Wapa Koneta

- K's ( one of my faves )

- Polly's ( needs cleanign but looks liek it'll be fine )

- Green River ( this one is MINT< and the cap included, nice unuseed cap from different city then the bottle )

- Gem ( neat 50th anniversary, 1973 bottle, real clean, too, I like it )

not going to poast what IO paid for these, let's say 29 bottle plus ship wasted a good portion of a weeks pay, oops... but happy with the value on them, any comments on rarity or background is appreciated, ( and fun [] )

Geez ... it's like a menu at a gourmet restaurant. Hmmm ... let me see. I think I'll have the Old Faithful with a side of Caravan ... and for dessert I'll have the Maumee Valley. Just put the bill on my tab! []

Great bottles ... you did good. Plus you get my "Gold Star" for the best photo-shoot of the week!

Congratulations,

You've got some nice sodas there. I still don't know whats going on with my 2nd shipment from them. I got a paypal email saying they have been shipped and another shortly after saying the shipping label had been canceled because of postage destroyed. Did they break them or something? Been a few days now and haven't heard anything from them. Haven't seen any refund either. I've got one more auction I've won from them and it may be my last unless they get their shipping straightened out. Won a local bottle I haven't seen before for 12.99. Then add their crazy $9 S&H a bottle and stuff just gets too expensive.

Not sure how long you;ve been waiting, my first shipment was very slow arriving, this one was so-so after we finally got shipping worked out .
Parcel post is going to take a while. not much to do to change that - they were very well packed, so none broken, which is a huge plus
and certainly agree on the ship for one or two bottles, ship will kill you . I;ve been real cautius about purchasing single bottles from sellers, even when the price is great, usually I find a few from one seller, puruse the others they have and add a few commons or something and get a bulk lot to ship, helps the cost per.

overall, I been happy with these, and am havign a blast hunting them - wish I could find more local, but even the antique malls produce few, so ebay has been my friend.
Am to go dig tommorrow, doubt any good ACL show up, but maybe vintage glass
Wish me luck []
