I know what you mean some bottles are just too cool to sell. here is a group shot of some 18th and early 19th century stuff I have dug that doesn't really go with my bottle collection but I have always liked so I keep them.

Chris

From left to right in the back row French capers bottle from James Willimsons privy Circa 1812, Belgian or french champagne from Brian Philpots privy Circa 1760s, Long neck aqua utility circa 1810 from a fells point privy

From left to right in the front row. Deep aqua phial from a Kensington Philadelphia privy Circa 1815, Clear flint glass phial from Brian Philpots privy circa 1780s, Aqua long neck phial from a fells point privy circa 1800, Small flint glass phial from a Washington Blvd privy circa 1830,(there were about a dozen of these in the pit some still full of a red colored perfumed oil) and finally another Clear flint glass phial from Brian Philpots privy Circa 1780s.

Amazing group of really old and cool bottles Chris,...great history on them as well. I really wonder just what the red perfumed oil vials/bottles were sold or marketed as?

I have a bunch of worthless soda bottles too. When I get time I am going to pack them up and take them to Goodwill.
