Description
These bottles were just waiting many years for me to take their photograph. I am still in the process of dating many of them that i have acquired in my travels. I thought i should at least photograph these beauties and do so in a manner befitting the aging non broken bottles.The background i used is the back of a very old plate. I found the pieces of the plate with some of the bottles so i am guessing they are about the same age.

Thomas, this is another beauty. Old bottles really are amazing and their history is fun to track down. My brother lives in Nevada, and he dug up a bottle with the name of a certain company on it. After a little research, he phoned an appraiser who came over to see it. He paid him $1200 for it! My sister-in-law, who was not all that fond of his habit, said he could go digging any time he wanted after that. ha!

Sounds like he got a nice profit for all his labor. I do not know if i have any bottles of much value but i do value them. This is why i am photographing them to share this and i am so glad you love these also Bonnie. Thank you.
