    1. Did you ever find out anything about them? Recently I was in an antique store and purchased a bottle because i thought the labeling and bottling was so interesting. Let me know! abagailryder@gmail.com

  2. Yes, they are worth money. I'll give you $1.75 for both of 'em.

    What is this American Pickers? Put'em on ebay and tell us what happens.

  3. Hello! My parents are the current owners of Ojibwa! I love Flint Expats. We're celebrating 100 years in 2015 and still based in the Flint area. I think they may be contemplating moving back downtown...

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
