Got a collection! - 1/14/2012 8:38:13 PM    Wheelah23 Posts: 4294 Joined: 8/9/2010 From: Glen Ridge, New Jersey Status: offline Through a digging friend of mine, I met another bottle collector here in GR! Never knew there were others. I went over to her house last week, and there was some cool stuff sitting around. She was using a cobalt script jug from Belmar as a doorstop though!

The woman dug most of these bottles on Staten Island, if that helps with the origin.
