First thing to do is clean w/ soap and water like you would your dishes. Avoid cleaning the ones w/ labels or ACL (painted) for now. Then, get a camera and post some of the more interesting ones here on the forum. You can also look up your bottles on eBay to see what they go for, but not all of them will show up there. That' s when the collectors here will try to help. Together we have the books and background of antique bottle collecting. _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!
