I always keep any embossed bottle, even if I know it's common. The only bottles I leave at the dump are slicks. This list applies more to buying... You don't want to overpay for the bottles on this list, or at least I don't.

I noticed when I first saw that list on another site, just about every bottle I found was on it. Good thing I don't dig bottles for money [:D]. So I may never get rich bottle collecting, but it sure is alot of fun.

It is a handy list though for people who or wondering if that old bottle they found is rare or common.

I just googled a bottle that's sitting in the window in my livingroom, Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera etc., and saw one listed on the bay for US $24.30. The seller should have read this list first, apparently.

It's interesting that there are apparently great regional differences in common bottles as there are some on that list I've never heard of and others that aren't on the list that I won't even bother to pick up off the ground of a dump that aren't on the list (Fletcher's Castoria...the alltime most common med in my area)

Since BromoSeltzer is on the list, anyone with worthless teal bromos can send them to me and I will dispose of them.[:D]
