Status: offline Even though the list is pretty correct, it fails to mention that several of those have rare variants/colors that are worth money. And not all screw tops are worthless...as we know....not just the 2 they list as exceptions. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

You have the right idea.  Keep the ones you like and sell or give away the rest.  Maybe you can decide what you really want to collect before the Houston bottle show and at that show you will see some real nice bottles to choose from.  You gotta get over that $2.00 limit though.

NONE RARE OR WORTH A LOT.[ALL $200 DOWN AND MOSTLY $100 UNDER. [I SOLD MY CATHEDREAL BOTTLES WHICH WERE WORTH MORE THEN THE REST OF MY COLLECTION,BUT NOT MY FAVORITES. SAM I TOOK BOTTLES LIKE WHAT YOU GOT MADE SOME MONEY OFF THEM BOUGHT A LITTLE BETTER BOTTLE AND KEEP DOING LIKE THAT.THIS IS HOW I GOT WHAT I HAVE NOW. TOOK ME SINCE 1990,BUT IT WAS ALL FUN! I WILL ALWAYS SAY I LOVED THE HOBBY MORE BEFORE I KNEW WHAT "GOOD" GREAT" BOTTLES ARE! JUST TAKES SOME THING AWAY FROM IT! I REMEMBER MY FRIEND GIVING ME A HOODS SARSAPRILLA BOTTLE!!! MAN I WOULD LOOK AT THAT THING A LOT! I HAD A BOOK FROM THE 60S THAT SAID IT WAS WORTH UP TO $5! WOW I THOUGHT THAT WAS COOL! YOU KNOW WHAT I ALSO HAVE SEEN $1000 BOTTLES THAT JUST WEREN'T ALL THAT TO ME. BESIDES THE WAY IT IS GOING IN TEN YEARS SOME OF THOSE BOTTLE COULD BE WORTH $100 ,LOOK AT ACLS! IN 1974 THE MOST I PAID FOR ONE WAS A QUARTER. YOU COULD HARDLY GIVE THEM AWAY. I FOUND THEM UNDER OLD BUILDINGS,OLD STORES,HOUSES,ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS THEN I GOT INTO OLDER BOTTLES. IF I HAD KEPT COLLECTING ACLS FROM 1974 TILL NOW,WHO KNOWS WHAT KIND OF COLLECTION I WOULD HAVE. I LOVE OLD BOTTLES JUST FOR THEMSELVES,SPECIALLY COLORS AND AIN'T GOT TO BE RICH TO HAVE COMMON ONES OF THOSE EITHER! IF I HAVE TO SELL ALL I HAVE NOW YOU CAN BELIEVE I WILL STILL HAVE BOTTLES EVEN IF THEY ARE JUST CULLS FROM THE LOCAL DUMP!!!

I beg to differ on the chamberlains colic and diarrhea remedy being worthless. I think its a crude little nice bottle with the intended error in the spelling of  the word "diarrhoea". Heck, I may even get it tumbled!   :)  _____________________________ Collecting Inks and Bitters (in reply to Penn Digger) Post #: 49

Dig for bottles keep what you like, buy a few just for the fun. Enjoy the hobby. A lot of guys around here are stuck on the older rare stuff just to resell it later. It kind a reminds me of the real estate boom we had. People just starting buying up land and houses with the intent to "flip it". That's what started this recession if you asked me.
