If you intend to clean them, be careful or the decals will wipe off. Try to get info on how to do it.

OH! I can help! I got a ton of similar out of a drained lake 12 years ago and I would use oxy clean powder. I filled a 5 gallon bucket with the bottles submerged in hot water and added the oxy clean and an hour or so later it was like magic, the black and brown dissolved right off the white painted labels and didn't hurt decals at all. amazing, really.
This is after giving them an initial bath and getting the dirt out from inside. Try sand or bb's for the inside.
When I had just one or two, I'd put the bottle in an empty pringles tube and you'd be amazed at how little product is needed to claen one bottle.

found a similar cache where an old saw mill was. there were some $2-3 bottles in the bunch.
I'm seeing a guy on Craigslist offering $300 for a clear Mountain Dew bottle.
Never know what ya gonna find, good eye.

I think we have a Bottles & Glass forum here if I recall correctly.

I got turned on to bottles & glass about a year ago, got 70 or so bottles from the 40's on my shelving, and actually a good old bottle is worth far more than a silver dime :) I had my ancestral dump site to go through, and still need to hit is some more - but then where do I put them? I'm outta space up here.

Got 4 1940's Clorox bottles, and they go for $25 each! Treasure isn't just in the coins & jewelry we find....

Love the bottles and cans. They look great along the front porch or home foundation.

Without hauling out my camera, this is the best I have right now. Clorox bottles have their name across the shoulder.
