My Father's Collection

[tss1961]

My father owns (is retiring from and getting out of the business) an antique shop (mostly furniture). Last week, on a visit, my dad said that I could have anything still left -- he's had a couple of auctions and a few more to go. He showed me a bunch of old bottles in a couple of wooden crates. He said he acquired them from a friend who said they were dredged up from the Panama Canal. I brought home a handful. I need some help identifying what they are. Here is a picture of the ones I brought home), I left the price tag on them, this was the price my dad was selling them for. Any help with possible value would be appreciated too. ... Only one picture upload at a time, I have more pictures... what is the etiquette in this forum about uploading several posts with one pic each?

Best thing you can do is take individual pics , any marks help along with pics of the bottoms of the bottles, if you use photoucket you can post ultiple images by using the (image) button as many times as you need in a post and it will show as many pics as you want, looks like some cool stuff there

Welcome, Tom! Feel free to put up as many posts as it takes, no problem there! One or two in each pic will make it easier to describe them for you..

Thanks, for the tips. Good idea with the Flicker stuff. I will post more later. Along with the bottles, my dad gave me his large coin and postage stamp collections, a few original 1920s Model-A "horseless carriage" owner's manuals (various makes). All of which needs to be cataloged... well my OCD requires it all to be sorted and organized...

Oh, and a bunch of Jim Beam bottles, from a pair of boots and a helmet to a Volkswagen Beetle. Somewhere in all this stuff maybe I'll find my daughter's tuition.?.?.? Though, I'd rather keep it all.
