Split Size Seal Rock Bottling Brings $325.




Now even the most advanced collector will have to admit this was a very nice color on this split. I think this is a strong price on a nice piece, and the single factor that drove the price was the yellow color. I doubt this would have brought $75. in regular amber. Nice top shelf piece....not sure what the hell this really means ....as the higher the shelf the smaller the pieces when it hits the floor, but i see the term used on flea bay all the time. I guess I need to increase my allowance if I am going to compete in the future, must be in a heavy funk, as I did not even bid on this one either. Its nice to be back on line feeding the blog though.

Sample Size Fredericksburg Beer Brings $$$$$







An e-bay offering on Sunday night closed with a bid of $1325.00 on a miniture sample size Fredericksburg Beer with full label bottled by Oakland Bottling Works with embossed Oakland Bottling Works amber bottle. Nosebleed territory, I did not bid on this one, but it shows interest is still strong, for minitures and sample sized bottles. With full label this made it a drooler, but knwoing what the last one went for, even I was shocked at the going price....whoever bought it congratulations. Maybe the attraction is in a recession collectibles seem to offer enjoyment as well as a hedge.
