Welcome, Mike. I like A vans, too They were popular here in CA, and some dumps(tips) are full of 'em. Many busted, plenty whole ones. I sell 'em all day long for $35 US.

Yea Mike
They are a very specky bottle. and so variable...I wouldn't part with the very light green ones, the 'ordinary' brown/dark green are worth about $AU 50 so they compare with US prices. I heard that there is a wall about 30' long and 4' high in Jakarta (Indonesia) build out of these!! Would love to see a pic of it!! Puts a new slant on bottle collecting- knock down the wall and keep the bottles!!
