500+ bottles (inherited) where do I start

[sparky]

I have about 40 milk crates filled with old bottles that were given to me. The job of sorting and cleaning is overwhelming. They are all dug bottles , first from a backhoe operator that passed the business on to his son who is n0w in his 70's That means many of the bottles were dug up probably 75 years ago. Ive cleaned up a few of the ones that I like. Its taken me a while but here is my question.
How to identfy?
How to sell them?. ie as a group or individually
I really enjoy looking at the different ones I cleaned up. I have them in a window and the different colors are striking.

Get some help from a local collector or two. You local reference librarian can tell you if there is a bottle club in the area. What is your area?

I live in Monterey Ca. I will check locally for some pricing help. A friend of mine collects milk bottles and insulators but does'nt know much about other bottles. I will post so pics of the more interesting ones in the next couple of days.
