Hello Forum,
I recently acquired about 90 old dug bottles from late 1880's and early 1900's that I am still in the process of cleaning etc. They are old medicine bottles ( Dr. Jaynes Expectorant etc. ), food jars, flasks ( a lot of warranted ones), whiskey bottles, wine, inks, shoe polish, and lots of pharmacy bottles. I have been doing research and most of them are worth only around 3 to 5 dollars with some being more valuable and some less. I would like to sell them but have no idea how to. Should I sell them as a lot? Would people be interested? Where do I find a buyer? I have sold some individual bottles on E-bay but the shipping and handling of a large lot would be difficult. Selling them one by one on E-bay also doesn't seem worth it because the individual bottles do not have that much value. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks so much!
