this time period was a very prolific for the bottle industry , and produce some of the more common bottles found . most holed little interest for antique bottle collectors. The coke is the most collected.

Lucky-- you rarely hear someone finding a poison. They're often common, sure, but what's found is usually pop and alcohol and milks-- excellent job. Care to show close-ups? Welcome.

Nice clean haul. I noticed the Coke bottle is a Christmas Coke. Pretty good for a find first time out. Do you live near Sedalia?Keep hunting. Pretty soon you may get a focus on a collection and get the bottle bug big time. Scott

Depends on how you manage your time and money--incorrectly can lead to loneliness and financial ruin.

Good start on a collection. I always liked the highly embossed whiskey bottles with the shot cap over the screw top. I know that they are not worth much, but always liked them. Christmas Cokes are always a keeper. Looks like the bottles that I dig in the 20's - 30's dumps that I dig. Buster

Hey that's some good stuff in my opinion. Can't pay attention to the negative voices. The poison is real cool as is the Christmas Coke. I think I also see a Carter's ink well and the amber whiskey flask (with the tall cap) might be "four roses" which can go for around $20.
