Found 3 boxes of bottles in attic

[hobbeshill]

New to the forum and 2 days new to bottle collecting. Had a roof leak and while in the attic, stumbled upon 3 boxes of old glass. Been able to track a few but need help with a few. Around 125 total.

Thank you for your time.

Can you post a pic of some of them? LEON.

Thanks for the welcome. Here are a few of them that have seams that don't run the full way to the lip. I've spent the last few days studying to figure out what's what. I haven't seen any pontils. Here is the full pic of the find and below some single attachments. Thank you for your time.

Replied but didn't hit "reply." My bad.

Welcome to the forum! Looks like most are pretty common but the Alabama Bottling Co Hutchinson bottle and the milks are more collectible. I can't make out the embossing on the milks, if anyone on here is familiar with Alabama bottles it would help for you to post the embossing. I do notice that one of the milks is marked XXX, which is unusual, never seen that used for milk before. If you've got any druggist bottles (or anything else marked from Alabama at all really) those tend to be more collectible as well.

anything with a town or city name is likely more collectable , some of the plain ones with no names aren't going to be worth much

maybe there was a dump nearby that some dug years ago ? or maybe a semi collector . guess over the years various different people can occupy the same house and leave things behind

I really appreciate all the input and info. I am having a great time researching and learning and never looked at it as a valuable collection. The most entertaining ones have been the Reid's Special non alcoholic beer bottle, the Newbros Herbicide bottle for curing dandruff/baldness and I have yet to find a good story about the Baby Ease bottle yet. Thanks again for all of your time.
