I don't have anything fantastic or super rare but I am selling off my bottle collection and my other antiques. :( I have created a website just for this purpose. I've got six people in my family and no room for non-purposeful stuff!! Here's the link...let me know if anyone has got questions...
Hi all, I just want to make sure of something before I get it on my website...I have a pint (actually it's 18oz) aqua (?) Ball Mason jar. It's a dropped "A" shoulder seal. It's a three "L" but the bottom half of the third "L" is ghosted. The bottom has a small raised bump (I thought valve...
Hey guys, my MIL bought an old Atlas jar at an auction. The tag said "Antique Amber Jar". After she brought it home and showed it to me, I realized that it is not amber colored. So I deemed it worthless...oh well, right? Well, as I was about to put it up with all my other worthless jars, I...
Ok, all, I have done my research for days now on this Old Cabin Whiskey bottle. I have read and reread Steve's AMAZING post on EG Booz bottles and have read several other posts. However, I can't seem to just feel 100% confortable with my conclusion. Here is what I have come up with:

Hey guys! I bought a box of bottles today and needed some help identifing them. I have found about half of them in some bottle books I have bought but am clueless to the rest of them. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
Hey everyone. My neighbor has recently tasked me to go through her basement full of jars and find the "good" ones. She has probably close to 500 jars. Well, I ordered Redbook #9 and it came in today and have been busy ever since! I have found a few that I am uncertain of. Any help would be...
Hey Guys! I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I found a bottle at a flea market this weekend. I have searched several sites and cannot find anything about it. On the front it says "R. Johnson" "Registered" then there is a wishbone looking symbol. Underneath that, "Trade Mark"...
Hey Everyone! First of all, I love this site. Everyone is so knowledgable and friendly. I have learned so much and also just enjoy the friendly chat. But, back to business. I have several soda bottles that I would like to sell. I started collecting bottles and couldn't figure out which...
Here's another question....If a bottle has a pontil, does that always mean it's old? I found a bottle today that has a very sharp open pontil (I almost cut myself!), no seams, and a very flared lip. It's clear but someone has painted some very ugly grapes or something. I'm not sure of what it...
Hi everyone! I have recently become very interested in bottle collecting. It all started a couple of weeks ago when I bought a cigar box full of bitters bottles. Now I'm hooked! Well, a few days ago I bought a very strange bottle at a flea market. If anyone has any information about it, I...
