One of the dumps I visit from time to time has a section I never bothered to dig in because it was just all broken up 1940's (or older) era battery boxes from old cars, no bottles at all. Was passing through there on my way to the worthwhile part of the dump recently when I noticed a big chunk of the battery section had fallen in the creek and all these cool little caps were scattered about the bank. Not sure they're worth anything, but they were too interesting to leave behind....

I can't say I would buy them, but I can say I would collect them. I bet they would sell on ebay.

I like them. They would be easy to collect as far as displaying/storing them. You would make like a shadow box type thing that hangs on the wall to put them in. Just an idea. I think they are neat. =)

It would be nice to know what they sold for. Does anyone know why ebay would hide the best offer price?
