I am a bottle junkie. I have been collecting bottles since I was a kid in NH. We had a great old dump behind our house. I still have the first bottle (Larkin perfume) that got me hooked. I can still remember everything about digging it out. IMG_20200311_082131862_HDR.jpg
When I was a teenager 3 of 4 of my boxes were stolen from our garage at a yard sale. It wasn't so bad then because I was a teenager. Since then I have dug, bought, sold and collected quite a few. Here is my collection of common bottles. IMG_20200311_081726130_HDR~2.jpg
This weekend I picked up these 2 collections. This one is hers, lots of good local bottles. She collected bottles like her mother. This last collection is her mothers and I know it was hard for her to get rid of. This was a collection of over 300 at one time. Lots of the Hawaii bottles are gone, as with most of the good ones. She had an EC Booze bottle she was giving to her brother. I am in bottle heaven for a while. I am planning on selling everything except the mothers well documented collection, which should look pretty good in the window! Hope you like the pictures!!! These are her bottles.

The rest of the bottles are her mothers collection!

Thanks Tommy, it sure doesn't take for them to take over. It's a blast checking these out and researching them. Check these two out a misprintIMG_20200311_095559151.jpg and a cool swan bottle.IMG_20200311_101305211_HDR~2.jpg
