    New bottle

    I went to Disneyland for my honeymoon and saw all the sights and spent to much money but one thing I found was a soda from Japan that was bottled in a bottle simular to the old bottles with a marble in it. The lady there had to show us how to open them as you dont just pop open the lid. It came...

    I am getting married next month and a lot of my collections will be trashed, sold or stored but thats the price for letting someone into your life sometimes. But these are some questions that I have been wanting to ask but was afraid to ask as I thought I would be banned from the site. A lot of...

    Opinions and observations

    Yesterday, I was walking around an old church and found a place where some of the members tossed some of their trash. I found some bottles, mostly glass no return bottles with bottle caps and not screw on tops, some cleaning supply bottles(bleach or such) and an old medicine bottle from the...

    Makers mark

    I found half of the bottom of a bottle and the piece i have has a capital A with a capital P, B or R leaning on the a and under this is a small capital K. I have never seen anything like it and I probably never will see another one. Is there a website that you can use to help identify these?

    New Bottles

    One thing that dissappoints me is that there are few bottles being made today that any future collectors will want. Kings County Distillery just came out with a limited edition of their moonshine, a small bottle that looks like a jug and comes hidden in a case that looks like two books, A local...

    Chinese Shovel

    Has anyone besides me seen the youtube segment on the Chinese Shovel, this would be great for bottle diggers. Its a shovel, pick, saw, hatchet, bottle opener, wirecutter, grappling hook, oar, shield and a knife for cutting your food. You can hammer or remove nails with it or put up a tent. One...

    Straight sided coke

    I found several such Coke bottles all the same city, but one had no scratches breaks and looks great except the top was broken off, about an inch or so. I should have taken a couple of the bottle lips I saw but I did not and cannot go back. I have sanded the break so now it is smooth. I know...

    I am getting married next year and plan to use some of my old bottle collection to add a personal touch and lighten the mood as well as make my collection seem more useful. I then thought it would be fun if we could come up with 101 uses for an old(but clean) bottle. Be as creative as you wish...

    Whatever

    Today, I went to a local junk shop to see if they had any old bottles from local companies and was told they did not have any. To demonstrate what I was looking for, I had brought an old local Currie Cola bottle that had the top broke off because I knew even they would not sell broken bottles...

    Half a bottle from W.Va

    I just started collecting bottles when my family started digging a foundation for a house extension. Even so, I tossed away all the broken bottles and fragments except those that were unique or interesting. One is a half of a bottle from Williamson W. Va. that has a circle with a capital M at...
