Need bottles; will travel...

[SAbottles]

Have just been on a round trip of 1300 km to buy a collection of bottles from an old digger. This is what some R14000 (about $2000) looks like still in cardboard boxes et al. -

There are a lot of very nice (saleable !) bottles in those boxes, Codds, Hybrid Codds, Ginger Beers, medicines and even some American bottles ! Will post some pictures as I unpack and list it all.
When I said "This is a picture of R14000 of old rubbish ..." the wife said , "OK. I'm in it too !" Not sure quite how to take that !!

I look forward to what you show us from inside those boxes Dale, I'm going to look at a milk bottle collection on Friday, I love the hunt...[]

Indeed, Jim, indeed. It's that possibility of some rare treasure hiding amongst the dross! Mind you, for me it's the income that the dross represents as well ! I am battling to keep up with the demand, especially for good blue bottles ~ not that I am complaining, mind you !!

Looking forward to seeing what's hiding in those boxes...[]

So you saying the wife was included in the price or was she purchased separately[]

Hey Dale... I want one of those hybrid Codds, can we arrange a trade? Glad you're keeping busy, congrats on the acq's.. []

Well, I'd say if your wife wants in the picure with your bottles then She's Priceless!!

Way to go Dale!! What a treat to look through all those boxes for the one that takes your breath away. Make sure to post it when you find it. Are you hoping to find anything in particular?...Ron

Actually, to be honest Ron, I know most of what's in there, having had to pack it all in bubble plastic at the other end ! However there were a few bags and boxes that I haven't gone through, so who knows?! Several of the bottles have already sold, almost before they were out of the boxes !
