So happy to find this site. I lost my stepfather year and a half ago, who was a very avid bottle digger in the 50's, 60's and early 70's. He was raised in Gallup and started his digs there. As I liquidated the ranch I came across boxes and boxes of dug bottles carefully moved them to town and just recently started going through them to say the least I'm overwhelmed.....As I go through, I find very common bottles and I have come across some that seem to be rare, or at least very hard to research. Some are embossed, some only have manufacture marks on bottoms, some have nothing on them. Some I have had problems researching are J D Iler Kansas City, Mo, The Morey Mills Denver, La Sanadora Romero Drug Co, Strehlke Bro's Druggist Meeker & Montrose Colo,. Maybe since this is all new to me there are some resources available that I'm not finding. Anyways any advise is welcome, since I don't plan on keeping these I haven't gone to the bookstore for bottle books but maybe that's what I'm missing.
