Looking for Illinois bottles! Anybody have anything?

[Bottleworm]

I look for blobs, hutches, meds, bitters, inks, poisons, liquor bottles, stoneware, and mainly any bottle from Illinois. I don't look for screw tops or milks. The only exception is if the milk is from Eureka Illinois. Thanks. I do have bottles for trade if you want to take that route.

Hey jamey,

Yes, it is. A souvenir refrigerator water bottle from the World's Fair in green.

I wanna see the base, please. How'd you happen upon it?

Hey Jamey,

I saw your auction: 1933 Worlds Fair Bottle | eBay Looks like you had a last minute bidder. Was that Mister Helpful from the earlier comment?
Were you pleased with the sale?

hello surf,i did not know what it was worth,i think i got it for 1.00 so im happy.i am trying to learn and get positive statements as i have too much stuff and going to unload.i did not think it was going to sell,i put 35.00 on the ponytil i guess that was too much as it did not sell.thanks surf i have got some learning to do.ps i put an old iowa hawkeye hat on there and got 51.00 dollars for it,that was a shocker

hey surf was that your comment,if so thank you so much

No, jamey,

That wasn't me. Here's hoping you get happy feedback. I see you're a new seller, and I'm sure that is a handicap.

I didn't see the listing for the other one. You had an ultra ambitious opening bid at $35, for in essence a pontiled puff, in my opinion.

Good luck in your future sales.
