I not too long ago stumbled on a dump site from early 1930s to 1950s me being inexperienced with glass thought them older at the time lol I let excitement get the better of me but still for me a once in a lifetime find and I'm still happy about it but anyways my mother works at an old folks home as an activity director I had offered to volunteer my time and show the bottles there i took many hours of cleaning bottles getting it ready and now I'm doing a ton of research on the bottles by what I hear they are pretty excited about me coming in and showing the bottles it's been a ton of work but I'm glad me saving these bottles was worthwhile and will be appreciated as much as I appreciate them. I have a picture of one box out of many I'm doing my research on made myself a little work station

Researching our finds is like icing on the cake. I find it just as enjoying than digging them....well almost.

You might not even have to research, they might tell you all about the bottles from when they used them. Sounds like a fun project.

I have a bunch I couldn't find anything about I'll have a separate area for those for them to try to identity I figure it adds something more to the presentation that way
