Hello,
I must admit that I know very little about old bottles, so, please, treat me like that.... I have many friends among local fishermen and they bring old bottles from the sea almost every week mainly in their camaron nets. About two months ago one foreigner came there when I was there as well and he was asking for these old bottles. Fishermen have them sometimes stored like decoration. Man bought about ten different bottles, made from dark green glass, most of them with the bottom pulled up (sorry for my amateur explanation), some of them a little deformed by the time in the ocean but not broken, some of them square, some of them bottles like Henessy cognac but very old, and so on, for about 50 USD all of them altogether. The man talked to me as well and explained me that these old bottles are from the beginning of the 18th century and that he is a collector. I am just curious how much would be real price of these bottles.
Regards
Lobo
