Post a picture of your collection&favorite bottle!

Oh yeah I got my first backer! I kinda thought that it would be you Bass. Thanks for the vote man! Seriously though, I totally understand that that would be asking way too much of y'all and I was only half serious to begin. I just couldn't help myself. On a sad note, I will admit that I was going to use it to live vicariously through all three of y'all at once since I am in an endless bottle drought right now. Hopefully y'all three know it was all in fun though

PS: I am completely serious though on the part about it being an Epic post!

So here is the thread idea that you just gave me that would be EPIC! You, Harry, and Surf take turns posting find after find until all three of you are out. Sorry that I had to call y'all out like this but I'm pretty sure I'll be getting some backing on this one. We could limit it to say three each per day. I'm guessing that the rest of us would have some nice eye candy for a solid two months or maybe even more. So now all I'm gonna ask is WHO'S WITH ME?!?!?!?!?!

That doesn't sound attractive to me. In fact, it sounds resentful. You can't really believe that 'Surf' and I are here to amuse you.

Harry, I am very sorry that it came off that way to you because that is not at all what my intentions were. I have always had the upmost respect for all three of y'all for the experience and knowledge that each of you bring here and for having enough patience to share it with us. It was basically just supposed to come off as a light hearted joke and at the same time say that I believe the three of y'all each have an amazing collection. Unfortunately that's not how it was viewed by everyone and I have no right to tell anyone that they're wrong for seeing it that way. I can only apologize again and hope that you will see that I honestly didn't mean any harm by it. It felt to me like I also may have offended you the other day when I asked if you had found that enormous bottle in the wild. I was only trying to learn more
about different finds and how they managed to survive. hope that this helps to clear the air some.

Harry, surf, and e-package, I concur with josh. I meant no disrespect at all. When you guys chime in on a thread, i stop and listen to what you have to say because of your knowledge on the subject matter. Your thoughts and opinions are very important to me. I thought it would be great to see the odd, scarce and unique items you guys have found over the years.... That's all, no harm intended and i'm very sorry if i came across as being disrespectful.

Cooper, I really like black glass so thanks for showing. Also looks like you have a grey bottle?

Nice group of black bottles! We could see them better if you will de-clutter the image . . . that is, photograph just a few bottles at a time in a single row, and crop the image so that their is less background and more bottle.
I really like these black bottles, and I have a few; but, it's probably impossible to have all variants. So, your bottles are interesting.

Here's the difference between a group and a few bottles in an image.

Thanks for posting cooper. I'd love to find just 1 of those coming up! If you don't mind, could you give me a quick schooling on Dip Molds. I haven't found anything yet that date backs quite that far. Thanks again!

Cooper, do any of these bottles have makers mark on the bottom, specifically GW&J ?
