Jim,

I just love the 2 postcards - showing the same vantage point - just years apart...how awesome! I see stuff like that and then see pics from today...and think how we've headed in the wrong direction (like with the Back to the Future movies)...I just like the older stuff I guess!

Great finds...you should go down to that intersection and get a pic from today...frame them all together...great history!

Tinna I think I'm gonna do that in my travels, best time would be early morning due to traffic and the large amount of people in the area. Stay tuned I should have it by next week.

Oh Jim - that would be truly fantastic...what a display that is going to make!

FYI...If you're traveling to get there...make sure you either take the cards or a photocopy so you can get the same angle...I will be looking forward to seeing it!

Have a safe & fun trip!

Whoa, what a difference a label makes on a warranted flask!! Nice score, Jim! I'm also looking forward to the 2009 shot of main St..

Hey charlie, I just got great news. There are only 4 known examples in existence and the top Paterson collector(since 1968) and I have the only pairs ever found. He says the half labeled one is a bit sunlight faded but the label was green and the label on the warranted was red. Big score he tells me, he says I stole them at that price and if I ever want to sell them I could make 20 times my money back......Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Hoooooooooooooooooooooo

LOL, thanx buddy , hope you liked that polish beer, I was shocked how light it was...

I'm just checking it out now.. I really appreciate it, Jim, I owe you one!
The color is definitely a standard Euro-teal.. I'm a bit puzzled by the Polish language, but I believe this was a bottle of high octane alcohol.. the "SPIRYTUS" is the clue.. in E. Europe, they sell very high proof alkee-hol, not really meant to be drunk, but for treating wounds and such, but some of the old commies drink it anyway, and end up passing out in the road and blocking traffic and stuff.. I'm gonna look into the interpretation of the label..

cool, the other two were nothing special but I figure you might like them, if not feel free to toss them. I got another amber ink today, it's the same shape as the green one I posted pic's of and I'll post pics when it gets here...

The other two will come in handy
holding our homemade plum brandy.
As a gift, they will be dandy..
..a bottle of peasants' favorite candy!
