Welcome to our Antique Bottle community
Be a part of something great, join today!
Not going to lie, I'm a numismatist through and through.
My boyfriend has an obnoxiously large collection gifted to him that we'd like to understand as far as value, etc. and hopefully get them moved outta here!
Most bottles were I believe found doing bottle digging (I didn't even know it was a thing; give me a metal detector any day of the week, though) in I'm assuming Western Michigan as that's where he's from and this is a thing his dad and grandfather did.
Apparently his dad didn't want the boxes and boxes (AND BOXES) of these things, so now they've got their own bedroom. Which of course, needs clearin' out.
So I know some of these are worth a pretty penny (probably not as much as my 1972 1c DDO#4), and I am learning a few things here and there about color, the funky holes on the bottom (or lack thereof), general interest in things, condition...but then again, I'm not the expert so I'm hoping this ridiculous collection I'll have some questions about doesn't bother anyone.
Hey, it's like an unsearched wheat roll - these things have been in boxes for years.....some of them are even admittedly pretty gosh darn cool and I wish I could have some Electric Bitters.
Probably going to be lazy and use this as an introductory post. Who knows, future bottle digs may commence as we live on over an acre of 1800's farmhouse fun.
Also, I know many people are interested in specific regions - most of these are yes, from Michigan. Muskegon in particular. Some are of course from other places, and kind of nifty.
We just need help with all these bottles....
