Speaking of dream bottles...I have noticed a familiar habit noted in your posts.
Place holders are common and I think subconsciously I've been there. When
I sold off all my bottles, it was because I was truly done with them. Once you
hold a dream in your hands it often ends the fantasy. I would literally chomp
at the bit to go bottle hunting. Haven't had that feeling for a long time now.
But deep in my subconscious I tucked away a few items and forgot about them,
I gave a pharmacy bottle to my wife because she's such a sweet little owl.
Then I found an even bigger one so she put the small one away in a drawer.
It became a place holder for my Benjamin Pharmacy bottle (some day)
Tucked away in the very same drawer were three bottle caps. (such crappy
pics...can't find my charger for the good camera...its probably in the same
drawer lol!)
The Hit cap inspired me to seek out the only bottle I hadn't meant to sell. I thought it was just another 28 oz Kik. It's due home shortly. (Yahoo!). The Pepsi cap once sat on both a 6 1/2 oz drum and a 6 1/2 oz peanut Pepsi. It just never looked right. So I sold the bottles but kept the cap. I've displayed the Nehi Cola cap on every Nehi bottle that I've owned (I've had tons) but something wasn't right. I kept the cap.
They now hold a place and that good ol' feeling's back again! Chomp! Chomp!
