Broken Bottles...

Should I be discarding broken bottles? or should I be repairing them?

I see someone selling broken cokes on ebay for $500+ & now someone wants $300 for a couple of broken coke shards glued together. LEON.

I think that depends on the bottles and you, doesn't it? If you got a rarer one and want to display it, yes. If it's a common worth nothing bottle but maybe if you want on the shelf for sentimental reasons, yes. If it means nothing to you even of whole, chuck it.

I found this Broken Gruel & Ott just yesterday in town dump. Decided to keep it anyways because it's different then all the others I have or seen or find. Tops broken but might be a Hutch? LEON.

I think it just depends on you. I keep what I like, it doesn't matter what it is.

They are an important source of information for me. Including some fragments

its something bottle collectors must decide and often there unsure what to do with broken bottles , i saw an antique dealer a few weeks back , he showed me a broken rare local bottle he didn't have the heart to throw out . i think alot of people keep broken bottles if they think they found something rare . i wouldn't see any point in keeping the broken bottle if its a common bottle
