In September of '99, I sold at a living estate auction for my mother, a coca cola bottle with straight sides, tapered neck, Denver, CO, and coca cola in script. I located a picture of the bottle in a book that a local antique dealer had and it was listed as circa 1902 to 1910. As I remember...
FWIW. I have been using a Fuji Finepix A303 for the last year and a half and have great success with it. The optical zoom is equivalent to 38mm-114mm on a 35mm camera. The resolution is 3.2 megapixel. It comes with a 16mb XD memory card and I just bought my second 64mb card for $23.50. This...
I am a young and energetic 61. I have not been actively collecting bottles at all but have had some real treasures come my way. My dad and my grandfather on my mothers side were in pharmacy and collected some real nice stuff, most of which went bye-bye at an estate auction in '99. There were...

I have a bottle I dug out of a sandbank in about 15 ft of water in the Carribean. It is obviously very old and I would like to find someone who can give me an approximate age and origin. The attached photos give four different views. The material in the mouth of the bottle is coral. KE
