Just a thought I have been collecting orange crush bottles for 10 years. I just went to the local sign shop were I had a sign getting some electric work done on and the owner told me that he had no idea how to wire it now I am $300 into it and it still doesn't work. Then I went to the local antique store to sell some bottles, ones that I have doubles of he told me that I am the only person that collects orange crush. The bad thing is some of the bottles were rare.

Real shame on the sign and bottles. O.C. is a great product! I have one bottle, but if you're looking to sell any and can show me they're from Michigan, I'd be interested. Care to show your favorite Orange Crush bottles and stuff? My bottle:

So I hope things work out for you. i can understand the problem of one concentrated line of glass collecting. I have a collection of over 2000 glass items and the application of mqny products made of glass. The material items last a long time - if you have a place for them is the biggest problem. They make me smile and admire them when i look around or out the big bow window that has over a hundred of them on display. Each one them tells me a story about how they were made.Company usually discuss my objective, and one special man and his wife from Europe came here to visit us and go to the Corning Museum with us. He also sent me a neat ofd demijohn to add to my collection. He collects in Holland and Germany and works for a museum there - dealing with glass history. RED M.
