I got to visit my favorite antique store today in Ohio,
Ghost in the Attic. Built in the 1860s, the building had an Otis elevator installed in the 1870s. It still works, and people can ride it anytime they wish. Not for me though!
Anyways, I've been after an amber E. J. Kenrick soda bottle from Portsmouth for a good while now. I found one in the back of the store, the only defect being a lip chip. As I was walking back, I spyed this beauty sitting on a helf. I've been after this bottle for three years. I've seen broken, chipped and bruised examples, but not a perfect one. I took that instead of the Kenrick soda.
All in all not a bad day. I passed a few ginger beers, saw some nice soda's and a large $240 hand painted stoneware jug from a beverage dealer in Cincinnati.
Also some good news, the Ohio river is at its lowest level for as long as I can remember. We are supposed to get a shower on Tuesday, so Wednesday I hope to search the mudbank for some relics.
