Personal "Keepers"

[slugplate]

Like all bottle collectors, diggers, hunters and traders, I take pride in my collection. The pix may not be as finely detailed as we'd like, but I wanted to show a small sample of what I have dug and uncovered in the last twelve years... my keepers. I keep a hundred or more packaged away in my shed and in different displays around the house. Bottle hunting and digging is a hobby I love and just keeps on giving.

Nice display!

Nice display shelving. Did you construct that yourself? The squares in the middle help maximize available space.

I love all the blob tops! Once, Just once, I'd like to find an un broken example. Every blob top I've ever found was smashed into a million pieces, and I only seem to find those pieces in Pennsylvania. Nothing older than 50s junk where I live it seems.

Actually no. We bought this house 7 years ago and it was always there. Naturally, I took advantage of it, LOL.

I always find them with just the tops broken off which is even more distressing.

I found pieces of sodas from Ashland PA once, smashed to bit, but from the 1860s. Like I said, in my area, nothing seems to go farther back than the 50's.
