Nice find. I love finding collections like that. I've purchased several like that, took out what I wanted, sold a bunch, and was left with tons left over. My garage is testament to that. It usually means I get payed to take the bottles in the end, and have a bunch left over. Who knows what I'll do with them all. Probably have a pile like that in a another year or two though.[;)] Good goin.

What did he want for all of them? What you didn't want you could sell and the rest give away or recycle.

The sweet thing about this is that he is letting me "cherry pick" ..buck a piece, no questions asked.. he said they've been sitting back there for a year and what I don't want will end up at a local auction. Not bad, eh?

Thanks for the replies, guys! I just finished giving 55 bottles a good cleaning and I am utterly zombified! [>:]

John, so far not a single milk!! But the crates are stacked 2 deep in the back row, so there's hope.. got 2 more Asbury park hutches.. Woody, those are ballasts.,,[:mad:] Fred, that is not an option.. yet.. working on luring wifey to the dark side..[;)] ..Sam, put that gun down and gimme some AA's!
This buck-a-piece bonanza is something I've been craving for a long time.. yeah, it's sloppy seconds, but somebody was kinda picky who unloaded all these.. I decided to go back tomorrow and make a day of filtering carefully through every last bot, and this one bedroom apartment is going to shiver under the weight of what I bring home, I kid you not! I'll clean em up and ebay em, gift em, trade em, use em, whatever.. I just love to be the curator of them.. and man I just loves me some glass!!!! [:)][:)][:)]
