Adam,

Welcome to the site, you've come to the right place. Are you interested in selling this accumulation of bottles or are these bottles that you are adding to your collection?

Well I'd like to learn about them mostly. Quick internet searches haven't brought up much information. I may consider selling a Hendricks or trading a few at this point.

The website sodasandbeers.com provides a wealth of knowledge, I'd start there. Then just set eBay "saved searches" and when one of the bottles in your collection is offered on the Bay, watch to see what is sells for, that will give you your current value.
