I just recently found out (and I'm 33 years old.) that my mother who is my best friend has been collecting bottles her whole life! I see her 2 to 3 times a week she still lives in the same house I grew up in and I had not a clue.So anyway shes going through some hard financial times who isn't, so we're sitting at the kitchen table discussing her finances and she says B.J. ( thats what she calls me it stands for Bert James.) walk on out to the barn with me please, Of Course I just think she needs to do something to get her mind off the situation. We go in and she shows me... Bottles upon Bottles upon Bottles, I'm talking hundreds maybe even into the thousands! It is unreal I have never seen anything like it in my life! Here comes the kicker she looks at me tears starting to swell in her eyes and says do you think we might be able to get a couple hundred for all of these. FOR ALL OF THESE! Are you kidding me, I looked at her and smiled put my arms around her and was able to let her know because of all her secret bottle collecting it was all going to be just fine. I have only been through 2 or 3 boxes about 200 bottles earliest I have found so far is 1854 the newest 1972 all different kinds. Seriously it truly is a Lot. lolSo as I pull out boxes I will be selling them in lost, I will be posting in the Buy, Sell, Swap forum and the Auction forum.
