Help in finding the bottle type and age

[OldDigger]

Hello,

I have what appears to be a black bottle with no markings, it is in excellent condition, no chips or seam marks. I can also upload the top lip photo if necessary.

I am new to the forum and hope that I explained this correctly. Any help is appreciated.

I believe the bottle type is "ale" and the date is 1880 - 1900... I like that wall!

Thank you, it was found near Telluride, CO. I have approx. 1000 bottles found from this area and feel it is time to think of selling the collection. Would you have any advice on how I might value 30 years of collecting?

Take photos of it all. List it on ebay with a $100000 hidden reserve and see what it gets bid up to.

Not saying its the best way.

But it is a way.

Embossed sodas, whiskeys, medicines are popular bottles, especially from western states. Post some pictures of stuff like that and forum members will be glad to help tell you which ones are good and which are common.
