Any of these have possible value?

[steveinlanc]

I'm unloading all (or most) of the old bottles I have to help pay for our upcoming wedding & honeymoon trip to Colonial Williamsburg. I don't want to waste time taking & formatting photos of low-value pieces, so I'll put up short lists of like-bottles with descriptions. If any jump out as being potentially worth, say, $30 and up let me know and I'll post photos of the suspect.

Of this list, only the two Lancaster clear bottles are perfect and mint. All the others have some type of issues & need professional cleaning.

**EDIT - Almost forgot. I'll give 10% of the sale of any bottle I sell here to this site. Can't really afford more, but I try to do what I can. **

Per a request, the C. HEILEMANN

Stay tuned for later tomorrow, assuming we get sunshine here. I re-examined the HEILEMANN bottle, and it has an extreme case of what you folks call "whittling" on the neck, reaching down way below the shoulder in some areas. There is also a good deal of "champagne" in the applied top. Damned cool bottle and I wish I had appreciated it more before I needed to sell it.

Learning learning learning.... I used to just acquire stuff because it was old and looked cool. Now I have to understand terminology. Sheesh.

27 images of the HEILEMANN blob top with a super heavily whittled neck and stretched swirl running around the body can be seen at http://imageserver.lancaster-internet.net/heilemann/ . The color is a bit off, lighter and MUCH greener in the body although the blob has lots of aqua. Whittling on the neck is so heavy it feels like the ridges on the edge of a large old coin when you rub it. Great vertical elongated bubbles and a fizzy blob applied way over the sheared neck by as much as 1/2 inch, clearly visible through the blob. NOTE the ONLY damage is a ding in the U in DAUPHIN and the P in PHILADA. Everything else that looks bad is due to residue INSIDE the bottle that needs to be pro cleaned.
