    ever have to leave behind bottles others would want?

    i'm a diver in bermuda...and i regularly have to make decisions on what to bring back...often leaving regular 1840-1900 black glass wines/ales behind due to being common here.that goes likewise with pickles/sauce bottles too.anyone else ever have the same issues?

    what can anyone tell me about the rarity of a coke bottle with bermuda embossed on the base...? clear glass coke, think it's a "hobby skirt".
