SteeleInks

It’s a rainy day so thought I’d snap a picture of some rare Bixbys that I’ve kept from the collection I used to have. A couple rare colors, a rare mold from 1883 with the patent date on the side in crude block letters, an 1880s tin that copies their shoe polish bottle, and a crude smooth base umbrella ink from the late 1860s, the oldest Bixby bottle I’ve ever seen. – Bill Steele


Tweddle'sSodas

A couple of nice Tweddle’s sodas. The green one has a wild funky bubble that’s pretty cool – Tim Henson


ColoredDrugStoreWindow

4DrugStoreUp for your consideration we have four fresh dug mold blown privy finds.These Antique Pharmacy Bottles from Reading, Pa. are in good condition but have some lite stain. – ebay


LabeledSodasDaleNichols

Three of my favorite labeled sodas. I think the Chero Cola label from Columbus, Ga. is the most interesting of all. Though a common old soda, it’s not often seen with this label, which dates to around 1916. Chero Cola survives to this day, but is today known as RC Cola. – Dale Nichols


Woddys3Mold

My little collection of Blown Three Mold.  Woody Douglas


3Barrels

Spring has sprung just green barrels popping up so far, today made a trip this morning to get the Greeley’s Bourbon Bitters in mint condition color is hard to call, I guess when it rain it pours. Also picked a new camera to make Gerard Dauphinais happy, hope the pic is better than yesterday.  Lou Holis
