I am a fairly new digger... have been doing it over a year now . Have lots of glass in beautiful condition. Problem is I can’t keep it all! I would like to sell some of the items not looking to make a killing by any means just to reimburse some of the Band-Aid costs! These glasses are a part of history so I would like to keep it going. Where would you suggest I start ?
New to site & loving to dig... need advice

Well it would really depend on what sort of bottles you have to sell. What are some examples of what you're looking to sell?
I guess my best bet is to take pictures to show them.

Unfortunately most of this stuff isn't particularly valuable. The milk bottle with the face is interesting, no idea what it's worth though and probably not a terribly large amount with no dairy on it. The iodine bottle is cool but also one of the most common poison bottles, you could maybe get between $5-$20 for it, and the pharmacy bottle is a good find but you'd have to ask a local collector about value. Unfortunately from my understanding Philadelphia bottles from the turn of the 20th century are generally not in super high demand, or at least weren't a few years back. The others would be $1 bottles at best.
Your best bet for selling this sort of thing would be to set up a table at a flea market if you can gather up enough of them to sell.

The older the better (usually). Screw cap tops from the 1920 or 30's or 40's or 50's not in high demand with little value (usually). Now some 1930's beer cans could be worth money. LEON.
