    New cures from Reno

    I was at the Reno/Expo show 2 weeks ago and found 10 or so new cures for my collection. I also got to meet ktbi (Ron) from the forum and see his impressive Kidney bottle display. Wish I'd thought to ask some of the other nice people I met there if they were members of the forum. I was looking...

    Last summer's vacation dig

    I've been meaning to post some photos of a bottle search and finds that me and my 12-year old son had last summer when we were on vacation in SC. Maybe this will help warm up all of you snowbound diggers. First a little background. My granddad built a vacation cottage on a beautiful tidal...

    This is a strange one

    Ran across this for sale on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/F-G-Otto-Sons-N-Y-Rare-Medical-Bottle-1871-/380300199995?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item588ba8883b I've never seen a bottle shaped like this. Seller says it could be a battery holder. Any ideas what this was? Mark

    Cobalt Warners?

    Saw this on ebay. Seller says it's a modern cobalt warners. It doesn't look like the typical Frank's knockoff. The pictures are poor quality, but it almost looks like it is backlit with a blue light. Someone's bid $76 so either they didn't read carefully or they like repos. Could it be a rare...

    Value of labeled bottles and detecting fake labels.

    Hi, I've recently started up bottle collecting again after a long hiatus, and I found this forum while searching around on the web and have been reading some of the interesting and informative postings. I like medicine and cure bottles. I had a general question about how much a label/box...
