LARGE BOTTLE COLLECTION - 8/19/2009 4:34:52 PM    jnm   Posts: 3 Joined: 8/19/2009 Status: offline My mother was a "digger" fo many years and accumulated an extensive collection of old bottles. I estimate there are over 1000. There are many types in various condition. One is a medicine bottle that shows grams of heroin as an ingredient. She has passed and we are looking for best way to dispose of. We are located in NE Ohio. Any suggestions appreciated. Post #: 1

I'm sure this forum has members in your area who are willing to help you with the task..  I am sorry to hear about your mother's passing.. -Charlie (in reply to jnm) Post #: 2

RE: LARGE BOTTLE COLLECTION - 5/12/2010 8:54:39 PM    jnm   Posts: 3 Joined: 8/19/2009 Status: offline I still have collection and would like to find a home for it. My mother got a lot of enjoyment from the bottles; I'm sure there is someone else out there that would also enjoy them.  From what I've been told, there are several bottles that have some value and others that are plentiful. Is there someone out there that would give me a $ per bottle? There are ~300 bottles. (in reply to jnm) Post #: 10
