Hi guys,

Someone is offering me 100+ bottles for $200. He only sent me a few pictures and they are not that great. What do you think? Are they worth it?

You really do need more to go on. I can only make out about 10 of which 3 may hold promise. The problem is if you can't make out what it is your deffinatly going to miss those big chunks out of the lips and the 5" cracks.
PS, the neck looks wrong on the calabash

The guys are right Victoria. Very interesting but with those pics it could be 50 bucks worth or 500 bucks worth.

I am seeing a torpedo, 2 cobalts, and what looks like a Cochran Belfast bottle. Depending on what the name is on that torpedo it may be a good one. The Cochran is old but common. The one cobalt looks like a bromo-seltzer, and the larger cobalt looks like it has a major chip in the lip. Of course, that might be light off the flash.

Definitely get some better pics before making a decision. I got a deal like that one time, but I looked at the bottles in person first. I got some goodies, but a lot of them had some stains and damage on them that I probably would not have seen in photos. But that was local, and if this fellow is not local I would squeeze as many good pics out of him as I could.

I am going to take a look tomorrow. Unfortunately without you guys helping, I will be lost. Even if I came upon a treasure, I wouldn't be able to tell.

I don't see anything good. The Jenny Lind looks like a repro because of the long neck.
