Thanks, and I look forward to learning a lot!

Thanks again,

D

Status: offline 		I'm not very knowledgeable on the later soda bottles, but you could have some decent bottles. Are the smaller medicine bottles in the picture embossed? Some of those may be older. The D-Patent Cokes are fairly common, especially from a big city like N.O.

Post some pics of individual bottles, and I'm sure someone will be able to help you out with them. We have collectors here for any kind of bottle you can think of. ~Jim

Status: offline 		Hey Dylan, Welcome to the forum. Like Jim said most of the D patent Cokes aren't worth much. 4 or 5 bucks at best but some with small or no longer exsisting towns on the bottom can be quite valuable. The embossed meds are usually good finds also.

What is the green and purple bottle?

Some of the embossings on the smaller bottles read:

Milk of Magnesia The CHAS.H.PHILLIPS CHEMICAL CO. GLENBROOK, CONN (its an amazing blue color)
Dr Ticners antiseptic
Mc Cormick & CO. Baltimore

2 of the larger soda bottles read:
Pepsi Cola
Royal Crown

One other one has images of a squirrel eating what appears to be an acorn

Thanks!

Do you consider yourself a coon-ass? Perhaps you would educate everyone what that is?  :>)
There is another fella on another site who has been collecting there in the bayous, for years. I'll see if i can track him down. I haven't seen any posts from him now, in a couple years, so I hope he made it through the Hurricanes.
Welcome to the site. You'll find a lot of help here. Be patient, sometimes posts aren't answered for a while. Folks get to them, as they can.
If you don't get an answer in a week or so, try "bumping" the post back up to the top of a category.
By the way, I got 14 inches of snow here last night, who wants some?
Bill

Thanks for the advice! And Id like to hear from a local!

And as far as weather goes....I think we hit 78 this week...so no snow here!

Thanks again,

Status: offline 		Welcome to the forum Dylan. I live in Biloxi so I see a lot of what you have in the photo. The bottle with the squirrel on it, is a Dr. Nut soda from New Orleans. If the label is worn off, you should be able to see the "ghost" of what was on it held up to a light. It appears you found a good 20's-30's spot in the swamp, unless it is from someone's collection lost in Katrina?? Who Knows?
Hope this gets you fired up about bottle collecting because it is a great hobby.  Hope this helps!!     Marvin

Youre not far from me at all. Thanks for the info on the squirrel bottle, and yes I can see the ghost image. Cool! Theres no chance it was someones (modern) collection...no where we found them.

Man, I sure hope this hobby doesnt take over like some of my other ones have! Watches in particular can get expensive.


Thanks again,

D
