CHARTER
unmoderated group rec.antiques.bottles
Newsgroup line:
rec.antiques.bottles Antique Bottle Collecting.
Proponent: Reggie Lynch rly...@antiquebottles.com
Proponent: Glenn Poch po...@phl.alibrary.com
Mentor: Jonathan Grobe gr...@netins.net
Votetaker: Jim Davis j...@primenet.com
RATIONALE: rec.antiques.bottles
A fast growing number of Antique Bottle Collectors are starting to use the
Internet to further their hobby interests. Specializing a newsgroup for them
will promote this hobby on the Internet, while off-loading the over-burdened
rec.antiques and rec.antiques.marketplace newsgroups.
CHARTER: rec.antiques.bottles
Rec.antiques.bottles is an unmoderated group created with the purpose of
promoting the hobby of Antique Bottle Collecting. This newsgroup will
promote discussions and questions about the hobby, as well as allow
classified ads (i.e. for-sale and want-to-buy).
The same classfied ad should not be reposted more than once a week.
Antique Bottle Collecting has many closely related go-with's and extras,
such as the advertising sign for an old medicine bottle. These will also be
covered in rec.antiques.bottles.
It is not within the scope of this charter to define "antique", but it is
generally expected that objects covered will have been made prior to 1950.
Generally speaking, a "bottle" is a container (usually made of glass, but
sometimes pottery) for products that were sold.
Items appropriate for discussion, questions, for-sale, and want-to-buy in
rec.antiques.bottles include (but are not limited to) glass bottle
containers for medicine, cures, bitters, soda (Coke, Pepsi, ...), mineral
water, soda water, milk, ink wells, barber, perfume, cologne, whiskey, beer,
poison, peanut butter, pickle, and vinegar. Also included are historical
flasks, pitkin flasks, ginger beer (a pottery bottle), case gin, target
balls, fire grenades, witch balls, and glass-sealed bottles.
Decorative or ornamental glass items are excluded from rec.antiques.bottles.
These type of glass items include crystal, Depression glass, vases, and ash
trays. As opposed to bottles, these glass items did not hold a product for
sale.
Newer bottles like Avon, Jim Beam, and Ezra Brooks are excluded from
rec.antiques.bottles.
Glass Insulators are excluded from rec.antiques.bottles.
END CHARTER.
DISTRIBUTION:
Changes to rec.antiques.bottles should be crossposted to the newsgroups:
alt.collecting.breweriana
rec.antiques
rec.antiques.marketplace
rec.collecting
rec.crafts.glass

Proponent's addendum: Someone pointed out to me that we forgot to include
Fruit Jars in the list of items that can be discussed within this newsgroup.
This was an unfortunate oversight. Discussion of Fruit Jars will be welcomed
on the rec.antiques.bottles newsgroup.
Another person pointed out an important point - in addition to the
value/advertising of bottles, we should stress the history of bottles.
I personally don't have a problem with you as a person just your
inconsideration of the rest of us who no longer feel the need to input
because of the use of this group for indiv. like yourself and the never
ending spammers.
