Here's a pic of some of my Florida soda bottles, jars, etc. in my basement. All of my clear/purple/SCA bottles are in the windows of my house. 200 plus embossed Fla. soda's and about 70+ embossed Fla. meds, lots of 1858 fruit jars, insulators, etc....I am a certified pack-rat.....

Nice collection....back in the eighties I lived in Ormond Beach and worked in Daytona for awhile and I loved digging down there because its all sand! I got a nice Moxie drinking glass once. Sometimes I dug what looked like petrified sea shells...how about some close ups of your bottles?

Beautiful collection inside of a really neat cabinet; some close ups of your favorites would be nice. Out here in earthquake country my bottles are all "displayed" wrapped in newspaper and stored inside divided cardboard boxes (in no danger of falling or tipping)...

Thanks everyone for the comments. Thanks to appliedlips; ...and I have been digging/collecting since the early 70's as a kid and digging as an adult since 1995 range. I acquired my dads collection form the 70's & some from my uncle in Daytona as well; ..but mostly dug/traded/purchased like crazy.
