They also give you the recent CLOSED prices. All on one page, w/thumbnail pix, and links to the items. It will save you hours of ebay surfing. And it's FREE! Here's the link CW BOTTLES Overview .

I am doing some research on old 19th century tip trays and want to know some of the history. The one I have is a 1910 King-Cola tip tray.
