This all started a few weeks back... but let me just start off saying that 2-3 weeks ago... if Bottle knowledge were glass... then I did not have enough to power a mini moped around the circumference of a cheereo...
My wife's father passed away 31 years ago and dug these bottles for the 25 years prior to that... they have been sitting in the house since then... some in the baskets he brought them home in... These 66 were ones he had in the living room in a book case...
Fast forward to today... my mother-in-law has decided that she would like to sell them... So I said sure I can help, clean, catalog, take picture, do some research... Yeah I knew what a pontil was... NOT! Blob Top... sure.... LoL... I was clueless... but started to read and post...
But I took some pictures and posted them on TNet, Antique-Bottle, and FindMall... Here was my original pictures... and let me just say... this is 66 bottles... there are 1500-2000 in the collection...
