Nice find! I don't think I have ever seen an amber example.

Every time I found one it was usually too late for me to purchase it.Day late------Dollar short. (LOL)

Congratz! I dont think I have seen an amber. We havnt got into the bug bottles, but I do see the green quite often. Like yourself, we have not added to the collection in a long time. Got too many other things going on, but I still look every so often.....dreaming.

Thanks Stephen..... I guess I opted for the bug bottles so I could expand my collection without getting into the HIGH DOLLAR bottles at this time. I (like you) have other things going on and pulling at my "play money". I just figured I would just stay away from the embalming fluid bottles and some of the English bottles for now. I am also looking often and dreaming AND still very interested in collecting.The Mississippi bottle show is coming up in January so maybe I can find some goodies there!!

Stephen and Mike, I think one of the most interesting things is how a collection changes with time and situations. I started collecting sea glass about three years ago. I spend winters combing beaches in my area and I find some pretty cool stuff. Then, I started reading up on what types of old bottles my old round glass shards were coming from. One day, I thought to myself, "Why am I searching for these pieces of glass, when I can collect the whole dang bottle." [] I started going to antique stores, the flea, ebay, etc. but my problem was that I was grabbing anything I liked. Old whiskey, beer, medicines…When you are new to collecting and trying to learn all you can about bottles, taking on a task as big as all types of bottles is very daunting. I honed it down to LOVING poisons and cures. Now that I learn more and more about poisons through this forum, conversations with collectors, research, etc. I think I need start honing my collection even more. Maybe just collecting American for now, or just bottles embossed with POISON and their variants. I am rambling now, point being, there is SO much out there... _mike
