Hello all, my name is Joe. My father passed in June and was unfortunately a bit of a hoarder. I always knew he collected bottles, but never saw the collection as they were wrapped in newspaper and stored in his garage attic since 1994.
I took pictures of MOST of them, but there were quite a few that I didn't take individual shots. I mostly focused on interesting ones or ones with labelling. The most interesting was the No. 82 that has a glass stopper built into the bottle that only lets you pour one way, but blocks the flow if you tip it the other.
I am going to end up selling it all, as I don't collect bottles, nor do my sisters, but I'd like to see the collection go to a good place. I don't have many antique places near me that appraise, and no one specializing in bottles.
See the entire collection here while I post images.
