HISTORIC OLD BOTTLES FROM THE PAST

Dug from the ground where they have been buried 50 or more years.

Business establishments of long ago...
from the days of horse and buggy,
from the days of groovy and cat's meow

Bring back Nostalgic Memories

Artistic design and quality of the past

-Notice the bubbles in the glass.
-Notice the seam: top: 1900 or after.below lip1890's era.  Bottom of the neck, 1870's era.
-Notice the raised lettering (Embossing).
-Notice the color.
-Notice the thickness or thinness 
-Notice misshapen neck, bottom, flaws. 
-Notice opalescence (deterioration of the glass)
-Notice purple color change from ultra violet light of the sun (pre-1930)

Enjoy them - Learn from them - remember them
OWN THEM - Treasure them.
Rarity and value increase with each year.
