Beautiful collection. Americans get so wound up in their own bottles that they ignore the rest of the world. Love the torpedo. You live in Chile?
Blunderbuss2 :Yes, I live in the city of Los Andes, Chile. I'm a collector of antique bottles and labels that are older than 1930 of juices, mineral water, beer.
Also I have a good collection of old cigarette packets, around 500.
You are an interesting person. Glad to know there is a world outside of the States & the "dread California". I don't live in McDonald's Land either. Your English is excellent also. Is there a reason for that? I ain't got no ac-sent neither. You obviously have good digs there.
