I have 2 big glass jugs they are between - 6/2/2006 12:55:00 AM    antique_Robin   Posts: 3 Joined: 6/2/2006 Status: offline 5 and 10 gallons.( I have never actually tried to see how much they hold) They have the dates 1929 and 1931 on them and stand 21 inches tall. I think they look like old water dispenser bottles, but my husband says they are battery acid bottles. where can I find out for sure what they are, and if they are worth anything? Post #: 1

When they are full they only weigh a few thousand pounds and you can buy a new car.LoL _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to antique_Robin) Post #: 5
