[green dragon]

going to post some of the highlights - as always, any info for this always learning newbie is appreciated

.....

first up is my one and only antique mall find, paid a whole dollar for this nice paper lable Canada Dry Orange Dry 28 oz. .. thought it was unusual enough and since sodas is what got me hooked
could not find one on the web, so is it rare and worth millions ? []

the other finds I got this week, was a yard sale I drove past, thought I glipsed something, turned around and drove past again before I saw the bottles, so I stopped.

older gent, said he collected these various places when he was doing construction. not sure how old any were, but I grabbed em, 21 bottles for 20 bucks and made him toss in a large decorative marble globe and stand.

first ones.

one on right I know nothing about, ABM, might be old, might be recent - my mom thought it should have a genie in it - any info ?

second one is a slick - still full. ABM whiskey.

guy said he was working in a local train station and found two of these, one had mostly leaked out, this one sealed. he thi8nks from when the train line was put through ( said they were buried in the sand under the station ) , statioion definately dates TOC or older, buyt as noted, these are abm .... is 100 year old whiskey better with age ??? []

wine or water

this one is neat, looks old to me, but what do I know, lol

nice abm bottle with brass spout at bottom.

different but not something I'd normally keep .

again, open to any info anyone has, I'm taking notes

nice aqua abm - real crude with bubbles in the neck and a real crude base for an abm .

grapes embossed on side, so guessing wine ? or a deco grape soda , lol ?

will grab some close-ups in a bit, my camera batteries died, so came in to crop and post what I had ( getting dark now anyways, too late to clean outside - sadly the cat knocked over and broke a crude amber slick, oh well.... )

syrup,med or what ?

amber almost-slick, has 1/2 cup embossed above and below line with arrows, all in a recessed panel front.

it's abm , guessing it might have had a paper label on opposite smooth side.. forget what marks on base, if any, as it;s still outside drying from the bath .

RE: another

speaking of Parlor City, as posted in another thread .... here is a Parlor City Bottling Works

aqua crown top, not bad shape, have to get some copper and try to tumble some of these . ( easy enough to modify the unit I have for roto casting rocket nosecones into a tumbler [] ) .

again, neat to find a local, that is adictive.

RE: another

very crude BIM slick - nice aqua color, the seams are 'sunk in ' ( not quite round, from the end, more like a mild figure 8 ), super crude lip, too.

RE: another

here's the neck on this one.

this is the 'whittling' I read about, I belive ( remember, I'm a newbie, lol )

overall real neat, even for a slick - as someone posted, it;s not a slick, now it;s a bottle I like, []

franks, no beans

Franks Safe Kidney , Liver Cure

found a few of these on ebay but those were green, not red.

very mint, abm, nice lil bottle.

neat little syrup

has to be a maple syrup or similar.

not from this week, but recently sorted from the big bunch of mostly slicks I got on memorial day.

not sure on the keeper status yet [8|]
