Below is a black glass ale bottle. This could be Civil War period, but I am not an expert on ale bottles. It is REALLY dark olive green glass, and is cool no matter what period it came from.

The first house we bought (1984-85) was all knob and tube. As we could afford to remodel, we replaced it. Never got it completely re-wired. We threw all that stuff away. When we first moved in, we blew fuses right and left. Seriously, almost every other day. I thank the Lord our house never caught on fire.

I have two stories to tell from today.

First, the hot girl I mentioned before. As I was checking out, I said something, and she said, "you're not native around here, are you?". "Well no, not exactly." I said. "You sound like a Virginian." she said.
"Yes, I am a Virginian by birth, and I lived on the border most of my life in West Virginia." "That, and you just purchased a bunch of Civil War stuff" she replied.



Another, story, this one not so good.

As I was standing outside a shop near a street corner, I saw what appeared to be a "lady of the night" if you know what I mean. She was dressed...very weirdly I might add. Short skirt, knee high socks, and blonde like the sun. She was standing on the street corner, waving to guys in big trucks. One guy walked past her, and I could hear her say something to the effect of, "you look like you could use some company" to which I was stunned. He looked shocked too. She stopped "advertising her wares" when a police officer drove up nearby, and she made a hasty retreat to the other side of the street. I've never seen anything so blatantly obvious and bold before.

I love that black one !! Very nice RR !!

 

[RustyRelics]

Good evening WD.

Thanks Bart! Where you live near the water, those should be easy to find., You should check out the shorelines when you get a chance.

Cool bottles, rusty.

I don't know a whole lot about them. I found this sight and use it. The shame of it this guy, Digger O' Dell, has passed away. He really knew his bottles.

He did pass away? Man, I'm sorry to hear that. I do remember he had lung cancer of some sort.

You could have asked either of them out for ice cream....

Here's a tune from when I was near your age. (Angst wears off.)

RR,

Welcome to the wild side....

 

[Blak bart]

Yup.....I hunt the mangrove swamps alot. My house is overflowing with bottles....theres thousands and thousands of bottles on the shore. I'll pick through a couple hundred every hunt to get 1-2 like that every few hunts. I'm also very picky now that my house is full.

 

[bill from lachine]

RR,

Some nice looking bottles for your troubles.

 

[WannaDig3687]

Hey, bart. The "meeting" is going on outside, for about an hour and a half now. I was chicken with all those guys and such a serious subject. I thought for sure it was going to be real intense. I have been hearing laughter off and on. So, maybe, maybe, it is a save. Man, I hope these people can get it straightened out. So many things have come to light.

 

[Blak bart]

Fingers crossed WD !!

 

[bill from lachine]

Bart,

If you get a chance maybe post up some pictures of your bottle collection for the crew.

Holy crap, man! That's heaven! Got any pics? Any you'd like to "dispose" of? Don't tell a collector you have some, and not show pics!

Whoa! You spoke? ATABOY!


As to the other story: You'll never forget it, either. I still remember the first one I saw. After a year and a half of seeing her around, my husband found himself behind her in line at a local gas station/convenient store. She was buying beer and got carded. She was really a he. Uck, uck, ick, ick.

 

[WannaDig3687]

ARC, BTW, I was up early. We went fishing. Actually, it was more like a long arse boat ride, catching, and then another long arse boat ride.

Yes, I spoke, by some miracle.

The second story? I lost my appetite.
