Value of my amber, art-deco Chocolate Soldier
I paid $2.00 for mine at an antique sale in 2008. It is listed in a kovel price guide dated 1999 at 35 dollars. I would not sell mine for $50 today because it is the only one I have. in fact I don't remember seeing one since I aquired mine. That does not mean they are rare but apparently...- forro

Hi. New member from Savannah, GA.
I dough a perfect bright yellow variant of that same bottle in Savannah less than a foot deep by an old creek bed in the 1990's. I ended up selling it to, now deceased, Paul Blatner for $1200 at least 20 years ago.- forro

I found these before I believe their water bottles European.
The crock ale bottles are common but are very cool . They add interest and variety to a collection and would really come in handy during a bar fight. I have seen them sale for anywhere between 8 and 12 dollars and up to twenty five in a tourist town.- forro

1934 Pine Tree Whiskey pint.
rare, historic with great graphics; these bottles have everything needed to be great collectables. When a teenager digging with my dad in the late 1960's we would not even bring home a lot of blown bottles with dates embossed from the 1880's because they weren't even a hundred years old yet...- forro

Help identifying bottle
it looks like a late 18 hundreds to turn of the century tear shaped torpedo bottle. they were usually use to hold mineral waters and were round bottomed so the cork would stay moist when laid on its side. They were often used as ballast in ships hulls and are not uncommon, but still a great find...- forro

Not to old
every collector starts somewhere. keep turning over dirt. you never know what will come out of the ground. Bottle digging is healthy, rewarding and definitely beats sitting in a bar.- forro

Crazy question.
As I said before , each person has his own taste. One other thing I like about mine untumbled is that I can recognize each one by its own unique pattern of oxygenation. Its always great to pick one up and remember the hole it came out of and who I was with to recapture the nostalgic moment in...- forro

Crazy question.
hello, im new to the site. I grew up in savannah and dug bottles there for about 40 years. I have an extensive collection but I have never tumbled anything. Each person has their own taste, and some will pay more for a well tumbled bottle, but I prefer the natural patina on the old bottles. To...- forro
