If your new to Bottle collecting you might find this list helpful. This list is from Antique Bottle Collector's Haven list of common (worthless) bottles.[sm=rolleyes.gif]

Happy hunting! Glen
Aspirin
Atwood's Jaundice Bitters, though labeled examples and sample sizes have some value.
Avon
Bromo-Seltzer
Dr. W.B. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
California Fig Syrup
Capudine
Carbona
Celery-Caffein
Certo
Chamberlain Colic Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy
Clorox
Citrate of Magnesia
Dalby's Carminative
Duffy Whiskey
Edison Battery Oil
Father John's Medicine, Lowell, Mass
Frostilla
Grolsch Beer

Heinz

General tips on identifying other common/worthless bottles:
Any bottle with "WHEATON" on the base is a reproduction.
Medicine or whiskey bottles with no embossing and no label are typically worthless unless they come in an unusual color like citron or puce.
Most screw cap bottles are worthless. Noteable exceptions are White House and Speas Vinegar.
