    Help with identifying these

    No. This was done to clear 257's by collectors, likely in the early 70's. While not original, they are highly desired by people that collect "color", so they can fetch around $200.

    Need some pointers

    I'm more of an insulator collector than a bottle/jar collector, if you can't tell from my profile and other posts. So something I found on my property is worth 10x as much to me than a jar for sale on eBay or at a show. (Unless it was made by an insulator manufacturer.) If I found this same...

    Need some pointers

    I decided to clean and sort everything I haven't yet photographed and shared here. First, pieces were sorted by color. Then, whether or not it had an embossing. Finally, is it in any other way it is identifiable, and/or notable. i.e, does it stand out from the rest of the shards. These are...

    I posted a link to that paper here so people can reference it in the future. https://www.antique-bottles.net/threads/the-w-g-co-mark-by-bill-lockhart-beau-schriever-bill-lindsey-carol-serr-and-bob-brown.700312/ I'd love to talk to the authors about their research.

    Beginner Question - Price Guide?

    Hello, this is a rookie question. I come from the insulator world, where we have a price guide that is generally accepted as the standard. I've been recommended the Red Book for jars. My question is, how do you determine the price of a bottle? So far, I've just been going with my gut. What do...
