For me, this is the most difficult type of post to respond to. On one hand I am sad that life has gotten in the way of our enjoyable things, on the other hand I want to help by buying what I can, on another hand Iwant to encourage you to hang in there and not sell. I sincerely pray that the correct course of action finds you.

My health and family is far more important to me than collecting is. So i will do what i must to keep both.This is far from a spur of the moment decision i have slowly given some to friends and family i have kept one bottle that i have had for 38 years, My very first dug bitters and that will go to my grave with me. I will have a list up soon thank you

If that decision is made, as I have done in the past, with diligent thought, I would be pleased to help you out and buy some items that fit my current specialties. "Littles" (approx. 3" tall +/-), odd / unusual embossing, anything with an embossed OWL, WAW-WAW bottles, Emerald Green, certain labeled meds, etc. I would like a list. I buy quantity as much as quality.

So sorry that you have to sell your collection, I will try to help by buying something. I am interested in Dr. King, Dr. Miles, anything like Davis Pain Killer, oddities, and any bottle from Florida or Alabama.

Personally, I'd dump all the vids while you can still make a couple busks. Even Blue ray will fade out in the next year or two. The bottles will hold the value better.[:D]
