Well . . . I've been known to collect bottles with my last name on them, such as:

57940143-90a4-028001E0-.jpg


and,

57940144-71ba-028001E0-.jpg





Here's a new one I've added to the collection:

58316393-46df-01E00280-.jpg


The $%^# thing is worth at least 10 times more than all the others put together!! [:eek:]

Jeez, it's just a few ounces of amber glass. [8|]

I just thought I'd share and wonder to myself . . . "Why do we do this, anyway??!!??" [8D]

(I must be an addict) [:-]

I figured that you already had one, they're pretty common in my area, but I thought I would offer just in case. It is a THOMPSON, WILSON, & CO. DISTILLERS PADUCAH, KY. half -pint. Just say the word and she's yours. Seen any bottles that say Figgins on them? They are a little hard to come by. I also like Caruthersville Missouri bottles if you hear of any. Just let me know if you want that half-pint. Talk to ya later.

Nice addition, Rick! I've always liked those F.A. Thompson coffins. Pretty hard to come by, especially in nice shape. They are a little steep in price, but that never stops me as long as I have the $$$. I love it when people look at me like I'm certifiably insane when I tell them what a bottle is worth [:D] Paying $500 or $1000 for something that someone threw away 100 years ago is perfectly normal behavior...Being a bottle addict is fun!

Hey Spencer, There are alot dopes out there just like that guy. They see a bottle and think it is worth a pile of bucks and when they find out that they are stupid they want to blame you.
