Very glad I found this forum.

I chose #3 mostly. While it wouldbe cool to own a rare or valuable bottle, it's not really my prime motive for collecting. I think my big goal would be to own a target ball, and it's a bucket list item (above that a 1965 Gottlieb Buckaroo pinball machine), but if I never get one, it won't be a regret (the pinball machine on the other hand). #7 has been a nice perk. It's nice to talk to other nerdy types (I think we all tried to avoid that stigma in our teens, but now, I could care less, I probably don't look like the nerdy type, but I am and I'm cool with it) who love history and old things, and the excitement of their finds, however they find them.

Since buying our house in a town that was built on railroad $$, I've found the history of it fascinating, and living close to Valley Forge also spurns that love of history, even though I paid no attention to it in school, I love it now. Also, having a house has made me love being dirty. Digging in the garden, or doing a home project. It's frustrating to not have the (4 and a 2 year-old) time to get out and dig along a creek somewhere as often as I'd like.

I also collect, Fenton and other hand blown art glass, Depression glass, pottery items,my newest bottle related interest is Ezra brooks and other bottles bottles depicting different figural bottles. I collect anything old/hand made but mainly glass since it's easyest to find.
