I learned that white, though good for under, not so good for behind when trying to catch embossing.

I also learned that just because it looked like you saved the zoomed in version of your pic, doesn't mean it will be zoomed when it hits the web.

I'm also thinking of selling all the unembossed milks at a neighbors yard sale soon. What should I ask? I was thinking a dollar per 1/2 pint(2=pint, 4=quart, 8=half gal.) is that too much? Or just 1 dollar increments?

Hey Josh, I always sell the halves for $2 because they are more popular......Ummm....Rarer. The pints and quarts for $2 because they are common......Ummm......Not as rare. The half gallon for $4 because they are bigger and rarer. That way those peps that think they would look cute in their kitchen filled with beans will snap them up and I don't have to store them any more.

Use Ebay hipe at yard sells and the flea and pepole will buy more. A little history, a little excitement, a little salesmanship = a little-o-cash and nothing to bring home.

Thanks alot. I've always just collected, but I need to get rid of alot of stuff. My old collection is being replaced with rarer/cooler stuff, and alot of things I have doubles(except SS Cokes, sorry cap)[;)]. I found pieces of one I haven't seen before the other day, but still only 2 in my collection. I've got alot of common meds and other oddball cork bottles that are post 1900 that I no longer have room for. Thought of making some displays, like a shadowbox to sell using smaller bottles like meds. We'll see what happens. Thanks again.

Excellent picture of the amber beers. I think outdoor lightning is always the best for taking pics of bottles. I must say too that they are very clean!

Hey Josh, I've found if you sell at yard sales you can sell bottles as decorator items,a collection of meds + inks for a mans study or den,jars and food bottles for a kitchen window.And food storage.
You get the idea
