Colorful Collection Of Three Brooklyn, Ny Seltzer Bottles

WHETHER YOU GREW UP DRINKING SELTZER FROM THEM AS A CHILD OR YOUR INTEREST IN THEM IS PURELY FOR THEIR INCREDIBLE BEAUTY, THIS WONDERFUL COLOR-BALANCED COLLECTION IS A MUST HAVE, AT THIS REASONABLE PRICE.. THEYVE BEEN USED FOR GENERATIONS IN EGG CREAMS, IN SPRITZERS, AND STRAIGHT UP, AND IN EVERY TYPE OF CIRCUMSTANCE THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE. EVERY BOTTLE OFFERED IN THIS SALE ARE 50 PLUS YEARS OLD AND ARE ALL HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE.

THEY ARE OF COURSE NOT NEW AND WERE USED FOR GENERATIONS AND MAY SHOW SIGNS OF LIFE SUCH AS SLIGHT NICKS OF WATER STAINS THAT DO ADD TO THEIR CHARACTER AND AUTHENTICITY. I DELIVERED SELTZER TO 501 W. ALL THREE BOTTLES ARE IN PLEASING SHADES OF BLUE.

THIS IS A TREMENDOUS OFFERING FOR SOMEONE LOOKING FOR DECORATING ITEMS THAT ARE BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE. ALL THREE HAVE MATCHING TOPS AND ARE FROM BROOKLYN SELTZERMAN. ALL THREE BOTTLES WERE MADE IN CZECHOSLAVAKIA. BOTTLE ONE IS FROM JACOB GOLDBERG WITH MATCHING TOP. IT IS A PERIOD 1930'S/50'S BROOKLYN SELTZER BOTTLE THAT HAS BEEN USED BY GENERATIONS OF PEOPLE. BOTTLE TWO IS FROM B.

LEVINE AND IS PRETTY MUCH FROM THE SAME PERIOD AS BOTTLE ONE AND FROM BROOKLYN AS WELL AND HAS MADE MANY PEOPLE HAPPY IN ITS LIFETIME. I WAS IN BUSWICK LAST SUNDAY AND ITS GETTING MORE AND MORE HIPSTER. BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN NYC WASTHE WILD WEST AND WE DELIVERED SELTZER IN AREAS LIKE BUSHWICK AND I WAS STUCK UP SEVERAL TIMES AND SHOT AT I STARTED TO WEAR A GUN ON MY HIP AND ONE ON MY ANKLE. NYC IS NOT LIKE THAT ANYMORE AND MY TEENAGED SON THINKS IT WAS EXCITING BUT I DON'T MISS IT, BUT I STILL RENEW MY GUN PERMIT JUST IN CASE.

THEY ARE NOT NEW AND DO SHOW THEIR SIGNS OF AGE BUT THAT ONLY ADDS TO THEIR AUTHENTICITY AND DESIRABILITY. THEY ARE MEANT FOR DISPLAY AND DECORATION. I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED A PHOTO OF MY FATHER THE LATE GREAT BIG AL BY OUR OLD TRUCK CIRCA LATE 1960'S WHEN THIS WAS A BUSINESS.. ALSO SHOWN IS MY VAN WITH PICTURES ON IT OF OUR TRUCK AND MY FATHER AND ME WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER I ALSO HAVE PICTURES NOT SHOWN ON THE VAN OF MY GRANFATHER'S HORSE DRAWN CART. IF YOU SEE ME DELIVERING IN NYC STOP BY TO SEE MY BOTTLES.

I DON'T SELL ANY. THESE AUCTIONS BELONG TO MY WIFE. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I WAS CONTACTED BY A REPORTER FOR BBC WORLDWIDE WHO WANTED TO DO A RADIO SHOW SO I SAID HOP ON MY VAN WITH ME ANYTIME. I'VE DONE SOME RADIO THINGS BEFORE WITH SOME BIG AUDIENCES.

NPR HAD BETTER THEM 10 MILLION LISTENERS WHEN I DID IT. I WAS FLOORED TO HEAR FROM THE REPORTER THAN 50 MILLION LISTENERS WOULD TUNE IN TO HIS SHOW.. A FAR CRY FROM MY GRANDPA JAKE'S HORSE AND WAGON. I WOULD LIKE TO FURTHER ADD A PERSONAL NOTE OF SOME SADNESS TO MANY. LOCAL RADIO PERSONALITY JOE FRANKLIN RECENTLY AIRING ON THE BLOOMBERG NETWORK WAS A FIXTURE ON THE AIR WAVES AND PASSED AWAY ON JANUARY 24, 2015 AT 88. HIS STORIED INTERVIEWS AND SUBJECTS INCLUDED THE LIKES OF CHARLIE CHAPLIN, JOHN WAYNE MARILYN MONROE, CARY GRANT AND BING CROSBY AND MANY OTHERS INCLUDING WALTER THE SELTZERMAN. ON A ROUTINE DAY OF DELIVERING SELTZER JOE FRANKLIN SERENDIPTIOUSLY STEPPED OUT OF A CAB AS I LOADED A CASE OF SELTZER BOTTLES ON TO MY HANDTRUCK TO DELIVER. HE RECOGNIZED ME FROM THE BOTTLES AND THE MEDIA AND I KNEW WHO HE WAS AND WE SPOKE FOR TEN MINUTES OR SO. I WAS DELIVERING TO MICKEY FREEMAN WHO PLAYED SILVERMAN ON THE OLD SARGENT BILKO SHOW AND WAS JOE FRANKLIN'S FRIEND FOR YEARS. LESLIE NIELSEN LIVED ONE FLOOR ABOVE MICKEY ON W. 34ST IN MANHATTAN AND MICKEY USED TO GIVE HIM TIPS ON COMEDY.

SHE THEN SAID DO YOU KNOW WHOSE WIFE I WAS TALKING TO? SHE SAID THEY WANTED TO HAVE SELTZER DELIVERED BUT SOUPY HAD BEEN ILL, BUT WHEN HE GOT BETTER HE WOULD CALL ME UP. HE NEVER DID GET BETTER BUT HE AUTOGRPAHED A PHOTO FOR MY MOTHER WHO WAS REBA WITH THE WORDS "COOL IT REBA" WHO REMEMBER SOUPY'S FOUNTAIN? DID ANY OF YOU GO IN TO YOUR MOTHER'S WALLET AND SEND CASH? JOE FRANKLIN WHO OWNED SEVERAL RESTAURANTS INVITED ME TO HAVE DINNER AS HIS GUEST WITH MICKEY BUT WE NEVER DID.

JOE FRANKLIN TOLD ME HE'D DO A STORY ON ME ON HIS RADIO SHOW, WHICH I UNDERSTAND HE DID, BUT I NEVER HEARD IT. THIS IS A VERY WELL CHOSEN COLLECTION OF THREE MAGNIFICENT SELTZER BOTTLES. I DELIVER THE SELTZER BUT MY WIFE SAYS THAT EVEN THE PRODUCERS THINK I'M CRAZY TO HAVE SO MANY BOTTLES, SO TO APPEASE MY WIFE I LET HER SELL THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT THREE YEARS AGO AT THIS TIME MY WIFE WAS GOING BLIND WITH A BRAIN TUMOR.

SHE HAD AN OPERATION IN JULY AND IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO PROCEED AND THEY HAD TO DO ANOTHER ONE IN SEPTEMBER WHICH WAS SEVEN HOURS LONG. WE MAY ARGUE OVER THINGS LIKE MY BOTTLES AND SHE MAY ANNOY ME ON A DAILY BASIS, BUT I'M NOT PERFECT EITHER-NO ONE IS. THE SECRET TO A HAPPY MARRIAGE IS ENJOYING THE GOOD WITH THE BAD AND APPRECIATING WHAT YOU HAVE.

AND THE TRICK TO ENJOYING YOUR LIFE IS VALUING IT.. I DELIVER TO BILLIONAIRES AND MOVIE STARS AND PEOPLE LIKE ME STRUGGLING TO PAY THE BILLS. THE ONLY REALLY RICH PERSON IS SOMEONE WHO WHO ENJOYS WHAT THEY HAVE AND IS CONTENT WITH THEIR LIVES.. ONE WAS ME IN THE 1960'S WHEN THEY FILMED MY FATHER THE LATE GREAT BIG AL AND ME FOR NBC. THE REST OF THE PHOTOS FROM 6 YEARS AGO WAS FROM NHK TV WHICH IS A WEIRD BUT TRUE STORY. I THOUGHT HE WAS CRAZY AT FIRST. HE CAME WITH ME AS MY HELPER TO LEARN THE ROUTE FOR SEVERAL DAYS SOAKING IT ALL IN....

THEN ON THE SIXTH DAY WHICH WAS TO BE FOLLOWED BY FIVE DAYS OF FILMING HE CAME WITH A CREW OF SEVEN AND TWO TRUCKS FOLLOWING MY EVERY MOVE, AND SLOWING ME UP. ON A 95 DEGREE SATURDAY HE LEFT US IN YONKERS NY SO I COULD FINISH THE ROUTE AND HE WENT TO MY HOUSE TO FILM BOTTLES.. I HAD NO AC IN MY OLD TRUCK AND WE SAT ON THE ENGINE.. I DRANK BOTTLE AFTER BOTTLE OF SELTZER AS I DROVE HOME SEVERAL HOURS LATER.. HIDEHA WAS WAITING FOR ME TO BACK IN TO THE DRIVEWAY AND HAD TWO CAMERAS FILMING EVERY STEP.

I REALLY, REALLY HAD TO USE THE BATHROOM AND HIDEHA AND A CAMERAMAN FOLLOWED ME TO THE DOOR OF THE BATHROOM AND I SAIDHIDEHA I REALLY LIKE YOU, BUT IF YOU DON'T GET THAT FU... KING CAMERA OUT OF MY FACE I'M GOING TO SQUIRT YOU WITH SOMETHING AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A SELTZER BOTTLE!!!!!! ULTIMATELY HE PRODUCED A TWENTY MINUTE STORY THAT AIRED IN JAPAN ON A SATURDAY NIGHT THAT MORE THAN 10 MILLION PEOPLE WATCHED. FOR A WHILE EVERY TIME I SAW AN ASIAN I TOLD MY FAMILY I THINK HE RECOGNIZES ME-HE'S STARING AT ME.. OF COURSE LAST YEAR WITH HER TWO BRAIN SURGERIES FURTHER FILMING HAS BEEN PUT ON HOLD.

I TURNED DOWN TWO CREWS LAST YEAR, BUT MAYBE SOON. I THINK I HAVE RETIRED. SHE WAS 2 WHEN MY GRANDFATHER BEGAN DELIVERING SELTZER WITH HIS HORSE DRAWN CART AND WAS THE REASON MY FATHER BECAME A SELTZERMAN AFTER WWII. I TOLD THE PRODUCERS IF YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES YOU CAN MAKE IT REALLY SOMETHING WORTHWHILE. GOOGLE WALTER BACKERMAN MEDIA STORM "REMEMBER THESE DAYS"..
