New to bottles need a little help

**niffler72** · Jul 05, 2012, 08:08 PM

I also posted this in garage sales but I think this is the right forum. I picked a box of bottles up off C/L the other day. Here are the first few I think are interesting. Any ideas? The fish bottle says Doctor Fisch's Bitters on the side and Wheaton NJ on the bottom. The other one is Ben Franklin and also says Wheaton NJ on the bottom. The eagle has a removable head but no markings at all. I thought they were cool and I paid $30 for a box of 34 bottles these were the three that interested me the most, I'm still sorting the others. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Thats a one litre water bottle and I have more pics if needed

My dad told me that any bottles that have a screw top wont be very old, any others probably are. Hope that helps, im not a bottle expert by any means, but you do have some neat bottles. I think u dd well!!!

The porters bottle is a screw top. The other bottle is a Virgina Dare insta-relief cherry syrup bottle.

i think the porters dates to the thirties, but the cherry syrup bottle is a complete unknown to me.

Look, how can you go wrong at that price. People love collecting bottles and will pay well for something they like. Old, new it just doesn't matter. These all will sell. That liniment bottle is 1871-1920. I looked it up on google. People from Piqua or Ohio in general would love it. When we had our antique store I could have sold this easily for between $45 and $65. To who? Everyone from museums, other dealers, pharmacies in small towns, restaurants that were trying to be "old looking", people that collect bottles and so on. You have a winner. If you watch that ex-wrestler, treasure hunter on TV, you notice he always sells his finds at an antique store, makes great money and trust me, they make even more. Why? Because wealthy patrons and most interior decorators don't buy on Craigslist or ebay. Congratulations. Keep it up.
