I guess I have a strange but fun side hobby, I collect antique bottles. My grandfather and dad got me into this when I was little. We would got to old home sites and dig for bottles. I'm into collecting coke, and liquor bottles, but I'm moving into poison bottles.

I've got an old Pine-sol concentrate bottle and an old Nehi bottle that I dug up from a creek bed.

I could show you an old bottle grave yard of sorts but you'd have to go to Missouri to dig for them..

I'm going to post pics of a few of my bottles when i can get on my laptop. What I really like is the story behind them based on what was in them and where they were found. |

My wife has a large collection of barber bottles, she claims they are worth a lot. I'm not so sure.

It runs under hwy 301, just north of Starlanding. I found them in a section that runs behind the house we used to live in.

I have a few old bottles but my favorite on i have I dug up in the projects on Vance during a remodel years ago, It's an old hand blown bottle with green tint glass and it says "Burnetts Cocoaine" on it. It looks exact to this one schenectadybottlemuseum.wordpress.com/2007/08/17/burnettes-cocoaine/Yea it's a Hair Dressing not really cocaine. |

 Here are a few of my bottles. The two on the right are 1870's medical bottles. The next one is a ginger beer bottle from 1870's as well. The next on is a 1880's soda bottle called a Hutchinson bottle with half the stopper still in. I dug these all these bottles in a dump from the 1800's in Vicksburg, MS. The last bottle is a 1850's frenchwine bottle that was hand blown with the top added after. I foud this bottle on a old house site in the hills of MS. |
