I look confident, don't I?

I bought it for $10.
My buddies and I got into the hobby around a year ago picking it up by pretty much by accident from our dads who used to dig back in the 60s.
This is my best bottles display. I have 150-200 bottles but this is my showcase. I've dug maybe half of them. Others bought at flea markets, antique...

Chrome canisters with lids were $10 a piece...
