    Nice, what are bottles like that worth? I have a few I found in the garage of a house we lived in. Also a few gallon jugs with tattered pop labels on them.

    I realize that your question is rhetorical, but sometimes it's worthwhile to state the obvious.

    If people (kids playing at the dump) didn't break most of these soda bottles, the surviving bottles would be common. Common bottles have no collector interest nor market value.

    For 'Allen' in Bagdad, here's a link http://www.decosodas.com/ to a very nice site with lots of cool sodas. Perhaps some of your own bottles will appear there.

    Anyone can make a contribution to the scarcity of such bottles!

    why do they always have to break our stuff?
    Is that a common occurrence?? Do first wives always break our stuff?? Has that happened to anyone other than 'mistergee' (apparently another screen-name for 'Allen' in Bagdad)?

    sorry ....didn't happen to me but it has happened to quite a few guys i know. thier ex's either sold,kept, or broke thier prized possessions. how does one question lead you to believe i'm hiding under an alias? and who is Allen in Bagdad?

    [font=comic sans ms]I see what you were doing now, 'Mistergee.' You were merely sympathizing with 'Allen', rather than repeating his complaint that,
    Here is what ive got left of my
    collection of bottles after my first
    wife decided to break most of em...
    [size=14pt]Sorry for that confusion. To recapitulate, 'Allen' and 'Mistergee' are different people.

    'Allen' lost part of his collection to his first wife, and 'Mistergee' knows of other collectors who have had bottles broken by their wives.

    'Mistergee' is the one complaining, " [The wives] always have to break our stuff," though he has not had such an experience (yet).

    I think that corrects the record.

    No, sorry, me and Mistergee is not the
    same person.
    Im Allen in Bagdad, Ky and
    mistergee is whoever he is.
    That collection is what I
    have left after my first wife
    decided to take a softball
    bat to my collection of over
    300 old soda bottles.
    now you know why she
    is my ex wife..
