I'd sell or trade any doubles or duplicates. LEON. P.S. The good thing I noticed is once I rinse the dirt off these bottles, they are practically mint & shiny. No need to tumble. Not like a dug bottle which can sometimes be pretty rough & beat up & need heavy duty tumbling.

Seems somebody threw in this newer 1940's paper label quart michigan beer bottle. everything else seemed to be 1920's & older.

wow that's a lot of bottles , I like the art deco soda's , any idea where the homeowner found them to begin with ? a collector maybe or was there a dump nearby ? it looks like they were found somewhere else and stored in the basement area

You need a flashlight and crawl under the whole floor. I have found some of my best bottle finds under old houses. I crawl under any old house I get a chance to. RC

Me either. Haven't heard of Stomber either and don't get much that's useful on a quick search.

I'd guess from the looks of it they have been stored under there for 50-80 years. Maybe it's not visable in pics but the bottom of baskets were sunken like 4 inches into the dirt so they been there awhile. Which probaly means he bought them at the store when new & stored them soon after drinking is my guess? LEON.

Pics of some of the better stuff. LEON.
