Thinning out the Collection

[CanadianBottles]

I'm thinking I should start thinning out my collection of stuff that doesn't really fit into my areas of interest. Let me know if there's anything you're looking for, I've got a mix of all sorts of stuff. Keep in mind that I'm in Canada, so the cost of shipping out of the country could be an issue - our postal service can be quite pricey.

American shipping can be quite pricey too

it might help if there was some pictures , I'm not really sure what I'm looking for , little overloaded with stuff rate now especially after all my swimming this summer , found a lot of common soda bottles which are taking up space and that I'd like to sell but wasn't able to have a yard sale this year due to covid , usually have a community one here in june but cancelled .

a lot of the antique stores that I sold things to in the past have also closed in recent years . and it cost a lot to ship bottles so no one wants to buy one unless its really unique and rare . so I have a lot of stuff I can't do much with at the moment taking up space in the garage .

We all have the same problem

Pontiled bottles?

So I've got three pontil bottles. The first is Bachelor's Liquid Hair Dye No. 1

The second is just marked "N Y.", no idea who or what made it. Might have something to do with the government of New York but I kind of doubt it.

And third is just a bulk pharmacy bottle that would have taken a glass stopper. Not sure how old it is, might date to after the US pontil era.

There's so much it's tough to take pictures up close, here's a sampling that I took for another member on here who I sold some bottles to (not these ones). I've also got patent meds, a few US druggist bottles, ACLs, and other assorted things.

I need Art Deco crown tops, like these big Canadians. I have no problem paying good money for nice bottles. Thanks.,
