Hello all, GMSB Buddies. I hope all is well.

Guys, y'all have some really great memorabilia!

I love old stuff. I have this small medicine bottle I found at an old garage sale with some other misc stuff.

A few years before I found this bottle I was digging where the old El Paso city landfill used to be and I had found some Empire Bottling Works El Paso, Texas bottles and a couple of pre 1914 and pre-hobble skirt Coca-Cola bottles from Magnolia Bottling works El Paso, Texas also. Well, being young, I did not know what I had, so I sold them really dirt, dirt cheap later to this gentleman Anthropology Professor Bill Lockhart. Well, he knew what I had... long story short, he got them and flipped them $$$$....

When I called him on this bottle, he came to our home on a snowed Christmas Day to take pictures, measurements, information where I found it, etc.
He couldn't het here fast enough.
It missed being in his book about medicine bottles of the southwest.
It is close to 100 years old now.

He has written several books on bottles and is well known nationwide in the glass and bottle community.

You can see the letter that he said there seems to be no other example of it.

Be well and stay safe out there in this heat.
Best wishes to you and all of your loved ones always!

Hey, I remember that gasket chart hanger thing! The little shop I worked for in the late 90's had the same one on one of the parts cabinets. I actually remember which cabinet too, it had the spark plug wires and boots in it.

Isn't it crazy how we remember those little details?? My uncles shop has so many of these kinds of hangers and old cabinets.

It's actually been a strange year. Next week is supposed to be our first real hot week. We've had a few days that were hot. But other than that it's been 70's and low 80's. Quite a bit of moisture. This building is a brick and cinderblock building with no climate control. But it hovers around 60, day and night in the summer no matter the temp outside.

This was off Ray Evernham’s modified stock car. It was a Pinto body. Then my Father converted it to a Cavalier. Common thing to do in the early 80’s. I have more stuff.

This is the same Pinto and cavalier. New Egypt Speedway on top and most likely Martinsville, bottom.

I saw this at the wrecking yard today, didn't get it because it's already damaged and I couldn't figure out how to get it home w/o that getting worse. Cool piece of Houston automotive history though.

Some more Houston, Texas history....

And a few other interesting things from our paper items....
The pistol ads are from the early 1920s, in National Geographic magazine. The NYC atlas is from 1945. Wurlitzer ad is from Christmas 1947.
