Shenandoah valley & Virginia collecting - 9/28/2011 11:23:25 PM    stanleyva2009   Posts: 25 Joined: 9/28/2011 Status: offline New to the site. I collect bottles (milks, soda and medicine) from the Shenandoah Valley area, down the I 81 corridor. I especially have interest in bottles from Luray, Shenandoah and Front Royal, Virginia. I also collect bottles from the Martinsburg & Harpers Ferry, West Virginia area. I would like to meet other collectors from Virginia or surrounding states that may collect the same type of items. I will post pics of some of my favorites later. Mike Post #: 1

RE: Shenandoah valley & Virginia collecting - 9/29/2011 9:33:23 AM    stanleyva2009   Posts: 25 Joined: 9/28/2011 Status: offline I have only been collecting bottles for two years or so. Started with a 1/2 pint milk bottle and was hooked. Now I search auctions, antique stores, flea markets, bottle shows and any trash dumps for bottles. I am going to try and clean a bottle later with the suggestions I have seen on here...CLR just doesn't do it. I have met ALOT of great collectors in the past couple of years and this looks like the best site for knowledge and info. I am (hopefully) loading some pics of some bottles I have questions about. The bottles are three meds and a Christo Cola. 1. Med from Washington, D.C. 5 1/2" 2. Med from Old Point Comfort, VA 4 1/2" 3. Med from Wooodstock, VA in light blue...have alot of clear Schmitt bottles but irst I have seen in blue. 4. Christo Cola 5cent from Front Royal, VA Any info is appreciated especially on rarity and age. Attachment (1) (in reply to pigeonman) Post #: 4
