Well for about 12 years now i have been collecting vintage beer signs and cans. I have a collection that is going to be in the family for years to come. My son is already asking to hang things in his room. (Not understanding how valuable these items are.) So when i told him no, he began his own collection. He collects these things called neonbottles. I think these things are so cool! I have started my own in our gameroom. These are real liquor bottles that are blacklight reactive. He got about 20 and i am alone with my 4. The cool thing is you don't have to plug them in either, just set them near a blacklight. The site we have been ordering from is www.neonbottles.com, they seem to have the brightest bottles, and best prices. We have been buying their special on sets, it is only $99.99 for four display bottles. Thats alot cheaper then my $ 300 corona neon sign. And they look just as good if not better. Any way my antiques are great, they have been collecting dust and sittig in boxes for about 6 yrs now. When we moved from Chicago they were never taken back out. Now that we have a gameroom and my son is older, i have taken them out and put them with these neonbottles. Everything looks great, the bottles light up the room and the tins. So i guess you can say the big kid finally got his playroom. Check these things out guys, thy are pretty cool. I have already started my collection. One more thing, i have a schlitz rotating globle that mounts out of a wall. ( horizontal) the switch is not working, you can hear the little motor make noise but no rotating. I am looking for someone that may know how to work on it. Please reply if you aare able to help.

once you kill a bottle, fill it up with water and drop the interior of a hi-liter in there. once the water absorbs the hi-liter pull the empty cartridge out. does just about the same thing but it only costs the price of the bottle and the hi-liter.
