BOTTLE TALK FEATURE OF THE MONTH
Most everyone in North Carolina that collects bottles knows
John Patterson. Most of you probably think of John as a milk
bottle collector. Well, I can assure his interest in N.C. bottles
goes far beyond milk bottles. John also collects North
Carolina whiskey bottles and has a real passion for Salisbury,
N.C. whiskeys. The few bottles featured in this issue will
give you some idea of just how nice John's collection is.
Maybe later in the year I can talk John into doing a special
issue on his whiskey collection. The C.M. Bailey bottles
featured on the cover were discovered during the demolition
of an old home in his neighborhood. John's C.M. Bailey flask
(left) fits in very well with the group.
If you want to know more about John Patterson and what he
collects just go to Google and type: Salisbury Post John
Patterson. You will be amazed at what you find.
Thanks to John for the support he gives to Bottle Talk.

Two more nice items from John Patterson's collection of Salisbury, N.C.
whiskeys. The North Carolina Corn Whiskey bottle is very rare. John says it is
the only one like this he has ever seen. It was found in a 1903 home in
Cleveland, N.C. It looks really nice standing next to the 1/2 gallon George A.
Jackson jug.

This nice center slug plate
SALISBURY CARBONATING
CO. is one you may never see
again. This is a very rare
bottle and one of John's
favorites.
Thanks to John for
sharing these nice items
from his personal
collection with the
readers of Bottle Talk.
Notice to RBC members:
The publishing of the newsletter seems to demand more and more of my time. Part of it is
because I can't get around as well as I once could to look for interesting collections and items that
might be enjoyable to the readers. When I have several nice photos and support material it cuts
my time in half When is the last time you contributed a photo or article to your RBC newsletter?
It takes the same amount of time to send me a photo as it does to publish it on Facebook There
are a few people that provide articles and photos from time to time and I really appreciate their
help. Why don't you pitch in and do your part?

Frank Bishop brought this nice little TIP
COLA to "Show and Tell". It was quite a
conversation piece. The bottle is
marked Greenville, NC. The cap is
marked Raleigh, NC. The bill head is
showing the TIP Corporation, Marion,
VA and lists 100 gallons of syrup being
sold to Pepsi Cola Bottling Co. in Selma,
NC.

The nice MASON'S MIDGET CANNING JAR was shown by Joe Williams. The three parallel bars
embossed on the front are what sets this bottle apart from the rest. This unusual midget jar could
bring $150.00 or more at auction.
The pint, strap side, KINSTON, NC DISPENSARY flask is from RBC member Lonnie Blizzard's
collection.

Pem Woodlief brought this rare porcelain Granville County license tag to the meeting. Even with
the rust damage this is a high dollar piece. It may be one of a kind.
The 50's glue bottle is from Marshall Clements' collection. Tape glue has become obsolete over
the years making IBM TAPE MUSILAGE a very collectible item.

RBC welcomed three visitors to our last meeting.
Eddie Sr., Eddie Jr. and Tommy Conway are from
Youngsville, NC and they collect most anything
old. Their main interest centers around N.C. milk
bottles and Pepsi items. The 7 OAKS DAIRY bottle
is a very nice and highly sought after N.C. milk.
They also brought a nice HAWMEADOW DAIRY
quart bottle from CLAYTON, NC.
Thanks guys for attending the meeting and
bringing something for "Show and Tell". Hopefully
you enjoyed it enough that you will decide to
become new members of the RALEIGH BOTTLE
AND COLLECTIBLES CLUB.

and I will put you in touch with John.

Vintage Pharmacy boxes are becoming very hard
to find. Over the years the box material and
label deteriorated from acid paper reaction ,
high humidity and insects. The Womble's
Pharmacy box is an advertising piece that
contained two products sold in the drug store.
The Apex, Pegram's and West Side boxes were
for prescription pills. Based on the phone
numbers these boxes are from the 40's and 50's.

Large styrofoam covered bottles are
becoming more valuable each year. They
were only made for a short time and the
styrofoam is very fragile. The foam covered
64 ounce TRU Ade is pretty rare. I value it at
about $50.00.
The nice little CREME de SAVON porcelain jar
is one of my favorite pieces. It has a value at
about $25.00. I dug the jar from the old
Durham, N.C. dump. It was about five feet in
the ground and was packed full of red clay.
The support of the clay inside probably kept
this jar in one piece.

I bought this extremely rare bottle at a yard
sale last year. It is a HUCKLEBERRY SPRINGS
GINGER ALE from Durham, NC. This is the first
and only Huckleberry Springs Ginger Ale bottle
I have ever seen or heard about. Long time
residents remember trucks with large tanks
transporting water from the spring. Water has
been hauled from Huckleberry Springs since the
early 20's. My guess is one of the local bottling
companies bottled this product for a very short
time in the late 20's or 30's. If you know
anything about this bottle please let me know.

North Carolina enacted state statutory Prohibition in 1908 with an
operative date of January 1, 1909. This law prohibited the sale and
manufacture of intoxication liquors. In 1911 the Prohibition was
expanded to include near-beer, beerine and similar drinks containing
alcohol, cocaine, morphine or other opium derivatives. This new rule
included private clubs. The General Assembly passed an act in 1913
making the possession of one gallon of liquor evidence of quilt. In 1915
this was expanded to prohibit the delivery and receipt of more than one
quart of liquor in 15 days. In 1917 a bill was passed making the
manufacture of liquor a felony with a minimum sentence of 12 months
upon conviction. After July 1, 1917 the state became bone dry and liquor
advertisements were no longer permitted to circulate through the mail.
North Carolina ratified the Prohibition Amendment to the Federal
Constitution in January of 1919.
It is interesting that in 1915 the booze continued to flow for personal use
and was sold throughout Raleigh by the "blind-tiger" drug stores. It is
noted that one Raleigh druggist within a three month period filled 3,990
prescriptions for whiskey, 555 for beer, 26 for gin, 50 for wine and 14 for
brandy. Another druggist had received 835 gallon of spirits in a five
month period.
More later on the elicit liquor trade during Prohibition and the special
circumstances that allowed this liquor trade to exist in North Carolina.
