I work under the premise that any bottles I have are for sale (excluding ones I got as gifts). This helps justify them to my wife. I just mark the ones I really like higher than thier real value (but that doesnt always keep them from selling).
No matter what you do you arent going to have them foreverm they are just on loan[]

I like that Gunther. They're still just things, not people. It's especially imporant in times like these for some of us. There are bottles and crocks I think my husband should sell, but he doesn't want to part with them either. I would be willing to sell mine because I need to! That being said, I do love my bottles! Maybe I'll take some pictures and try to do that in the other section of the forum.

Haven't had a chance to get back to your site Mike, but I can't wait! Thanks Woody for the info.

BTW Gunth, is that your house on your site? It's awesome!! Can you give us a little history on it? I know you have before, but I can't remember it. Thanks.

Wow Mike! I couldn't even begin to pick a favorite. You have a great site. What a selection! I am impressed. I'll be going back to look again, I'm sure of it!

Here is a very simular style bottle. Did Dr. Hartshorn use the same mold? I have never come acrossed another Hartshorns bottle like this one has anyone else?

My favorite part of this forum is looking at the pictures that are posted by all members. Don't know why, but for some reason, I never get tired of looking at bottles!!
I'd love to see some group shots from Mike's collection.......for the record, Mike has always been very generous with me in terms of sharing his extensive knowledge on bottles, particularly the New England glass. The generous sharing of information from members of this forum is what has kept me logging on, even when things get a little crazy on this site!

That's a pretty cool Hartshorn form. I have been trying to document the different hartshorn meds. Your seems very similar to the early Poland bottles. I assume it smooth base? Can you show a base photo?

From the pictures it looks like a different mold... the arch looks different. I assume this is a Lyndboro products as well, and obviously utilizing the design of Dr. Poland. It looks like a late 1870s-early 1880s bottle.

Cindy, Thanks for your kind words. I will get a few pictures posted.
