Leon, it looks like mine might be slightly taller, but we'd need to see the bottle pictured there. Otherwise, it's identical in make. Sandchip, it really stood out when I first spotted it, then to see it is from my town, then I got it and highlighted it to make it a gem. :)Iggyworf, thank you. :D

Nice stuff! I love the embossing on the amber blob, and the gravitating stopper has always been a favorite shape of mine. Here in RI it's hard to find one under $150.

RIBottleGuy, thank you. :)
This one is priceless to me because it's local. They had others! But one was like $150 in amber.... Not in my price-range. XD.

Leon, you picked up some great finds lately. Antler Man, I'm not sure to whom that is addressed... But speaking of soda.... *Pours everyone a glass of Creme Soda.* Minnesota just seems like one of those places that would be a heck of a time getting pre-1890s bottles. If you are talking to me, then I must say that I search only for Muskegon stuff anymore. I have literally no more room. I'm well out of room now. Lol... I hate to overflow out of my bedroom. Care to post your locals and best pieces on for us all to view?
