    I think you might be right.

    What is this?

    I know it’s not a bottle, but I’m hoping you guys might have come across one of these before. It’s made out of wood and I’m assuming it’s from the 1900’s-1930’s since that is the dates of the bottles if found. Any ideas?

    My first display

    Here is my first creation for display. I ran out of time, so I didn’t get to finish it, but it’s put together.

    Thanks. I’m starting to think value is more about someone’s option than how rare it is. I don’t plan on selling anything just because of what it’s worth, but I have started trying to figure out what I will keep and what I’m going to get rid of. It gets complicated when you start trying to...

    im so new to this that the rare ones look the same as the common ones to me. Now that you brought it up, all of the other druggist bottles I’ve found don’t either.

    Is there a fix for brittle rubber?

    I found these two ink wells with in tact rubber. The darker colored one is extremely brittle and when I touch it, it crumbles. Is there something that will help?

    So the rainbow coloring is new to me. All the bottles I’ve found have never looked like that.

    Came up out of the back yard today

    Thanks. I’m up to over 200 bottles so far. In only about a 30 foot ditch from a back hoe. I couldn’t imagine how many are actually here. I’ve always thought bottles were cool but never thought I’d ever find any. Turns out, I’ve found the jackpot in my back yard.

    The house isn’t very old. Everything I’ve found and been able to date is pre 1930. I’m somewhere over 200 bottles so far and I’ve only been in about 30 feet of ditch from a back hoe.

    Poison bottle

    I found another 20 bottles today in my back yard. I haven’t been able to dig around for a few months. Finding this poison bottle was a shock. And, of course, Any info you have would be great.
