My room upstairs is pretty much full, so I've been putting new stuff I get in the basement. Starting to take shape...

How long until the kids are off to College? Then you'll have lots of extra space!
Looking for Illinois, Missouri and Texas steinie bottles. Looking for US stubby bottles produced between 1936 - 1941. Looking for ACL beer bottles. looking for St Louis area cans and certain Chicago area flat top cans. Holy Grail bottles are Old Albuquerque stubby from Albuquerque, Wagner Beer steinie(1937) from Granite City, Ill. and Goldcrest 51 steinie, Schepps Stubby, White Rose Stubby both from Dallas

I was thinking maybe it was a subway platform sign. It's too big for a bus sign and the dimensions aren't right. It's 48" x 24", dated 1953. I like how it shows NYC from the Dutch 1600's era all the way up to the Empire State Building.

Really cool stuff and presentation! I'm with Dan, I wish I had more space...more than 3 square feet!

I really like that Ambassador sign. I've seen it a few times now. Is that a relatively common sign?

Very nice Ron. Now if the upstairs is pretty much full, any pics of that as well, or possibly already posted in a different thread?

Also, I know you have some unrolled sheets? How to you display those please? I am thinking of matte mounting the 30-40 I have.

I've only seen this particular Ambassador sign once aside from the one I have. I would not say it's a common sign at all.

I have about 70 of them. The 12 ouncers are all in plastic top loaders. There are no top loaders that fit quart or 16 ounce flat sheets, so I have those in Riker mounts. Oh, and some are framed too. Lately I have been thinking I have too many flat sheets so I have selectively been having Art roll a few here and there. I love flat sheets, but they are a lot easier to display as cans.

I should put together some pics of the upstairs, but I don't want to remove everybody's motivation to come stop by and see it in person!

Wow! What a cool display. You've got some really great stuff, and a nice space to display it in.

I didn't mean to imply the Ambassador sign was common. I just don't know anything about signs. I just love the way those lighted signs look. I've got to save up some money to get a bigger house. :)

Thanks! I was thrilled to get that from our own Dave Launt. I had always wondered why there was no New Yorker advertising when they clearly went all out with the cans and bottles and bottle caps.
