LAST WEEK SLIGHTLYAFTER 7:30 AM, AS I CARRIED AN EMPTY CASE OF SELTZER BOTTLES OUT OF A BUILDINGADJACENT TO A LOCAL COFFEE SHOP, I SAW A FAMILIAR FACE OF SOMEONE I KNEW WHOUSED TO BUY SELTZER FROM ME TILL THIS BACHELOR MARRIED A MUCH YOUNGER WOMEN ANDSTARTED HAVING A FAMILY, AT AN AGE WHEN MOST WOULD START HAVING GRANDCHILDREN.HEWAS HOLDING THE HAND OF A VERY CUTE GIRL WHO WAS NOW 7, AND WASBABY IN A BABY BUGGY WHEN I SAW HER LAST. HISFAMILY GREW SO QUICKLY THAT I LOST COUNT BUT SOON IT SEEMED THERE WAS NO ROOMFOR SELTZER.
I FIRST MET ALEC BALDWIN AFTER WE RAN IN TO EACH OTHER IN THE STREET MANY YEARS AGO, AND HE RECOGNIZEDMY BOTTLES FROM THE BOTTLES THAT HAD
SURROUNDED HIS SET WHEN HE WAS ON THE TV SHOW30 ROCK, AND HE STARTED BUYING SOME. ALEC IS ONE OF THOSE QUINTESSENTIAL NEW YORKERSWHO SEEM TO BE HOUNDED BY THE PRESS, YET HE IS ONE OF THE NICEST PEOPLE I KNOW.FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN MY TWO BOYS HELPED ME DELIVER HE WAS VERY NICE TO HIM,AND CONSIDERING WHAT A HUGE STAR HE IS IT IS QUITE A PLEASANT THING.
HE ASKED ME HOW BUSINESS IS, AND I REPLIED “THE PANEMIC WAS BAD FOR EVERYONE”AND HE REASSUREDME THINGS
WILL GET BETTER, AND LATELY ITDOES HAVE THAT FEEL THAT IT WILL. I TOLD HIS DAUGHTER THAT “YOU’RE SO CUTE..YOU’VEGOT YOUR FATHER’S MOVIE STAR GOOD LOOKS AND SHE SMILED.IT WAS NICE TO SEE HIM.
HE WOULD FREQUENTLYGO TO A LOCAL RESTAURANT NAME JEFFREYS THAT USED TO BUY 4 TO 5 CASES OF SELTZER EVERY WEEK AND STOPPED DURING THE PANDEMIC. IT WAS AND EXCITING PLACE WHERE MOVIESTARS, LOCALS AND TOURISTS ENJOYED ITS INTIMATE SURROUNDINGS,WHICH BECAME ITSGREATIST CHALLENGE WHEN THE WORLD WE KNEW SHUT DOWN.
TODAY WAS GAY PRIDEDAY AND ONE OF THE LANDMARKS OF THIS MOVEMENT, THE STONEWALL INN, WAS ALL OVERTHE NEWS, AND IS LOCATED A FEW FEET FROM JEFFREYS IN THE HEART OF GREENWICHVILLAGE. THIS
IS A HISTORIC AREA WHERESOME OF THE BUILDINGS ARE NEARLY TWO CENTURIES OLD , AND I MISS THE AREA, BUTIT WAS NICE SEEING PEOPLE CELEBRATE EN MASSE, WHEN LAST YEAR THERE WAS LITTLE TOCELEBRATE.
A FEW WEEKS AGO IGOT A CALL FROM THE MANAGER OF JEFFREYS THAT HE FOUND FIVE OF MY BOTTLES SO I WENTTO PICK THEM UP. BURRIED ON A SHELF WAS THREE OF MY MORE FAMOUS BOTTLES THATHAD BEEN PROUDLY DISPLAYED FOR YEARS, MANY FOR THEIR BEAUTY BUT ALSO FOR THEIRCOLORFUL PAST. WE CLIMBED UP TO GET THEM DOWN, AND NOW ALL THREE WILL BE FORSALE.
THEY WERE ALL ON THE TV SHOW 30 ROCK, AND WERE RETURNED TOME FROM ONE OF MY CUSTOMERS WHO WAS HEAD OF PRODUCTION, AND HAD PLACED THEM ONTHE SET FOR ME, THOUGH I NEVER PAID A CENT ONE OF MY FATHER’S AL BACKERMAN BOTTLEWERE ALSO ON THE SETS AND THAT MADE ME VERY HAPPY.
THIS AUCTION IS FOR A UNIQUE IMPOSSIBLE TO DUPLICATE RUBY RED SELTZER BOTTLE CREATED BY MY WIFE NEARLY 2 DECADES AGO. WHEN MY CHILDREN WERE 1 AND 2 SHE WENT TO BRAZIL TO SEE HER FAMILY. SHE CALLED ME TO LET ME KNOW SHE HAD BOUGHT A RUBY RED SELTZER BOTTLE FROM ARGENTINA AND A PURPLE ONE .I WAS BEYOND THRILLED. WHEN SHE CAME HOME I SHOULD HAVE EMBRACED THE FAMILY MORE THAN I DID, BECAUSE I REALLY WANTED TO SEE THE BOTTLES BEING A OVERZEALOUS COLLECTOR.
I WAS SO THRILLED I TOOK THE RED ONE TO THE PROP ROOM OF THE SOAP OPERA "ALL MY CHILDREN" TO PUT ON THE SET. THE HEAD OF PROPS SUGGESTED WE CLEAN IT UP. WHEN WE OPENED THE TOP AND PUT WATER IN IT, THE PAINT BEGAN TO PEEL. SHE SPENT 0 ON THE PAIR AND THEY WEREN'T EVEN GOOD FAKES,AND I WAS BEYOND DISAPPOINTED AND FIGURED I WAS BEING PAID BACK FOR BEING SUCH A CALLOUS HUSBAND.
MY WIFE WHO IS VERY ARTISTIC, DECIDED TO MAKE HER OWN CREATIONS, I HAD ONCE PURCHASED A HOARD OF 1934 ART DECO CLEAR BOTTLES THAT WERE BEAUTIFUL AND MY WIFE FIGURED SHE COULD PAINT THEM IN SOME UNUSUAL COLORS. A TRUE RUBY RED COLOR WOULD NEED GOLD IN THE BATCH TO BE FORMED WHICH LIMITS THEM TO ALMOST NON EXISTENT. THROUGH DAYS OF ARDUOUS TOIL ON EACH AND LEAKAGE THAT RUINED A BUNCH OF BOTTLE SHE CREATED SOME OF THESE RUBY RED BOTTLES THAT SOLD FOR 0 PLUS YEARS AGO. I HAD SOME OF THEM ON TV SHOWS. UNFORTUNATELY 9 YEARS AGO MY WIFE BEGAN LOOSING HER SIGHT AND THEY DISCOVERED A TUMOR PRESSING ON HER OPTIC NERVE, BY HER BRAIN, AND THEY TRIED TO GO THROUGH THE NOSE UNSUCCESFULLY TO REMOVE IT.
WE HAD TO WAIT THROUGH THE SUMMER TO INVASIVELY OPEN HER SKULL TO REMOVE IT. WHAT A BAD SUMMER. I HAD THE SUPPORT OF MANY DOCTORS WHO WERE CUSTOMERS,AND THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF THIS WHOLE THING.FORTUNATELY IT WASN'T MALIGNANT. I RESPECT OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT IN WHAT HE'S BEEN THROUGH. IT CERTAINLY MADE HIM COMPASSIONATE WHICH HAS BEEN A REASSURING QUALITY IN THESE TROUBLING TIMES, FORTUNATELY MY WIFE SURVIVED. SHE CAN'T SMELL OR TASTE, BUT CAN SEE. AND IS IN SCHOOL AT 61 TRYING TO GO AHEAD. THERE'S DAYS SHE'S RUNNING ON VAPORS BUT MOST DAYS SHE'S GREAT. AND EVERY TIME WE COMPLAIN ABOUT BILLS AND TROUBLES THAT WE ALL HAVE I BLINDFOLD HER FOR A MINUTE AND SHE WALKS AROUND THE HOUSE AND I SAY BE HAPPY YOU CAN SEE, AND ARE ALIVE TO SEE.
UNFORTUNATELY SHE HASN'T PICKED UP THE PAINT BRUSH IN A WHILE. SHE'S AFRAID. BUT THANKFULLY SHE DIDN'T GET COVID AND IS FULLY VACCINATED , BUT MAY NEVER PAINT THESE BOTTLES AGAIN AND I'M FAR TOO INDELICATE TO FINISH THE MISSION.
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL BOTTLE, BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO SEE IT, AND TO REALLY SEE IT IN ITS INCREDIBLE BEAUTY.IT WON'T FADE. IT WON'T DISAPPOINT YOU LIKE SO MANY THINGS CAN.
ALSO PICTURED ARE THE BOTTLES IN VIEW OF THE STONEWALL INN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. WITH ALL THE POLITICAL DISCORD LATELY IT IS TIME TO EMBRACE OUR DIFFERENCES AND BE HAPPY ESPECIALLY AFTER THE YEAR WE'VE HAD.
OUR BOTTLES ARE MEANT FOR DISPLAY.
ALL AUCTIONS BELONG TO MY WIFE SELTZERLADY.
I STILL DELIVER THE SELTZER AND WILL NEVER SELL ANY OF MY BOTTLES IF YOU SEE ME AROUND, BUT WILL TALK TO ALMOST ANYONE ABOUT THEM.
THESE ARE IN FABULOUS CONDITION CONSIDERING THEIR AGE AND THAT THEY'VE BEEN USED FOR GENERATIONS. WHEN YOU DELIVER THESE BOTTLES IN WOODEN CASES OF TEN WEIGHING 70 POUNDS THEY DO GET HANDLED ROUGHLY.
AND THEY DO SHOW THEIR SIGNS OF AGE BUT THAT ONLY ADDS TO THEIR AUTHENTICITY AND DESIRABILITY..
THESE BOTTLES HAVE BEEN CLEANED THOUGHLY BY MY WIFE AND THESE ARE HER AUCTIONS.
THEY ARE MEANT FOR DISPLAY AND DECORATION..
THESE ARE VINTAGE COLLECTIBLES AND WERE IN USE TILL RECENTLY..THEY ALL HAVE A LONG AND MAGNIFIENT HISTORY OF PLEASING MANY FOR GENERATIONS. THEY ARE TIME-WORN WHICH ONLY ADDS TO THEIR AUTHENTICITY AND SENSE OF CONTINUITY WITH THE PAST FOR THOSE WHO LOOK FOR THINGS THAT ARE MEANT TO BE USED FOR A MOMENT THEN DISPOSED OF JUST AS QUICKLY.

THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE RICH BLUE BOTTLE. IT IS MARKED MADE IN GERMAN AND WOULD PREDATE WWII. IT'S REALLY AN INCREDIBLE BOTTLE.
THEY ARE PICTURED BURIED ON THE SHELF, ALMOST FORGOTTEN, WHEN THEY WERE CELEBRATED IN THE PAST BY MILLIONS.
ALSO PICTURED IN VIEW OF THE STONEWALL INN. THERE'S A LOT OF POLITICAL DISCORD IN AMERICA LATELY, BUT WE NEED TO BE HAPPY, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE YEAR WE'VE HAD.
THIS BOTTLE SHOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY......
