I have never collected bottles before but I love antiques and these have always been on my "one day" list of collections. Maybe my wife will let me start when I get rid of the rest of my junk. Anyway, I recently rescued 10 beer bottles from an old barn in Minnesota. The old guy selling them to me told me they came from his wife's grandparents who ran a brewery in Wisconsin. After researching, most of them are Illinois-Owens and are from the 20's-30's. The cool thing is, they still have the corks in them. I'm on the fence between selling them and keeping them as they do look really cool on my bookcase. I'm just curious if anyone could give me an idea of value. I know it's hard w/o a pic but 7 are the larger bottles, wine bottle size. The other three are the size of todays beer bottles. Just hopeful someone can give me a heads up on appx. value and rarity, if any...and is Ebay the best route to go with these? Thanks
