Interesting carboy pickup

[Calvus]

Went to pick up three carboys from an ad on craigslist. He had 12 total and there was this old water carboy labeled "From the hills of Hollywood: Magnetic Springs Water" Cant really find much about the company but thought it was a pretty cool bottle to hold some wine. Anyone else with some older carboys with advertizements? Something kind of neat about using older glass.

Great looking carboys. I have a couple and I find tht the opening is slightly smaller than the carboys I buy from wine equipment suppliers. For example, I cannot fit my drill mounted stirrer into the water bottles. Almost, but not quite. I have to keep this in min when preparing to de-gas. If you have a stirrer, see if it fits into the carboys you purchased.

Nice score and the look to be in great shape!

WHAT!!! I just scored 5 5 gallon carboys for $30. I thought the craigslist ad was going to be for 30 each. But for 5? I better find something in the fridge to ferment. And a pic of the peach that is happily fermenting away with Cote des Blancs.
