I am trying to get into bottle collecting and I have a small collection so far. I will post some of my best ones(at least my favorites) but any info I can get on my bottles would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I am trying to concentrate on texas bottles so anything that is not texas I'm liquidating.

Cool bottles! Whereabouts in Texas are you located? You dig these or buy them?

it shouldn't be that hard to find bottles ( at least for sale that is ) but there may not be as many to find in the wild as years past , I started out small and a few years later have 100's of bottles and boxes full of bottles in the garage .
I don't have any texas bottles though

Very cool! Welcome...there are several Texas collectors on here. I'm down near Houston but there are a number of collectors up in the Dallas/FW area.

Canton is a good place to rustle them up with the flea markets! There should definitely be some places to dig in the Canton area as well.

I am sure you know this, but the ACL's you have date to 1930's-1960's. The embossed sodas you had photos of appear to date from around 1915 (for the Union and the bottle next to it) to the 1920's for the two on the right to the 1930's/40's for the center bottle. The Union bottle from Houston is pretty common as is the Hippo Size (though those are just cool bottles!). I can't tell what the others are so can't really comment on them.

The one on the far left is a straight side property of Coca-Cola from Houston and the one next to it is a bludwine from dallas.

What kind of bottles do you collect. I may have something you might want to trade for or something
