A few photos of the display I did at the 2010 FOHBC National Bottle Show.
It's just some of my Lima Ohio bottles. But only ones that are embossed with the word Lima. And excluding medicines and milks. So it is a group of Beers, Booze, and Sodas, with a fruit jar tossed in.
Click-the-pix to enlarge.
This is just a group photo post. Eventually I will do posts on the individual bottles and breweries, with history and ephemera.
The bottles are all embossed. The white paint is temporary/removable, just to help with seeing the embossing.

I broke this one setting up the display -- so it's on my MOST WANTED list!
4 different hutch embossings -- too blurry to make out: Christen / Consolidated / Harmon / ??
Consolidated Bottling Co. -- these are clear bottles that were ''nuked'' to become this deep royal purple. Relatively common ''available'' bottles, so no harm. I like them better this color.
Here's an artsy shot of some of my other Lima bottles, not from my display:
And here's a couple of rare paper labelled Lima whiskeys:
- Brook Club Whiskey
- National Standard Private Stock / Bottled by National Wine Co.
