So I was a digger back during the 70's and mid 80's outside Philadelphia. I had the bottles displayed in my parent's house till my Father passed in 98 and my Mom moved to Maine. So when the house was sold the bottles got packed up and have sat in my basement since 1998. Time has come to do some cleaning out and to inventory what I have. Back in 1998 i believe I had close to 1800 bottles displayed. So here was box number one ! I don't know what any of these are worth these days but maybe I have some rare stuff boxed up.
