Have this one up in the window facing east, so in the morning it shines like the sun.

Not my most valuable, but my favorite for sentimental reasons. This is the first bottle my wife found for me in the first year we were married while trying to figure me and my bottle collecting out. She found this about 25 years ago for me.[:D]

Yeah, I've got some that would be considered my best bottles, but they all belong to somebody else!

This is mainly to JOE THE CROW; Thanks man, I really like bottles with a history. My NY home is about 30 miles from Elmira and the whole area around here has a lot of Mark Twain history lovers. I enjoyed it. RED Matthews

My overall favorite glass container, an almost perfect self-dug 32 ounce, 11.5 inch tall druggist bottle from Peoria. As of now I think I have 6 or 7 different sizes, the 16 ounce will be a tough one to get but I'm working on completing the set! I was in shock after pulling this behemoth out, as at first I thought that it was 2 different bottles that had been exposed [:D]:

"McDougal's Pharmacy Cor. Main & Adams Sts. Peoria, ILL."

This is my favorite non-self-dug bottle, gifted by an awesome, wise, and quite generous local collector. It is a rare piece and I've only dug a shard of one:

"Dr. F. D. Kelly Dentist and The Best Painless Tooth Extractor in the U. S. Peoria, ILL." 12 ounce I think? I challenge you to find a local bottle with a more ostentatious claim than that! [:)]

My favorite piece of stoneware, a self-dug gallon jug from a distillery in Peoria. Has a few chips but is solid and attractive:

Everyone else's favorite self-dug bottle [8D]:
