Do you guys save broken bottles?

[wheatymike]

I ran across some bottles in a site were someone has cleaned off the ground with a tractor. Most of the bottles are soda bottles from the 40's up through the 70's. Only a few are not broke but most are. Do you keep any of the broken ones?

Depends on color I suppose. Anything that new I personally toss. But if there is color then I may keep for art work, tables, sea glass type projects. jgas

i dont keep broken bottles unless they are 1800s bottles that look nice broken as well

Im not a bottle collector, but I keep what ever I find, that is old and unique, at least to me. I have bottles from WW2 bunkers and anchorage sites, just nice to see what was used in that time in history, broken, chipped or not, its all important to me. You can always throw it away later, or maybe a friend would like it, for its history.

I have saved old glass that was close to being whole that I found and was a heart breaker. Gave some away to a friend that restores the broken bottles to look intact and displays nice until an intact one can be located. He uses a masonary saw and cuts then down and re-aplies a top off a bottle busted at the other end. Better than chunking them back in the hole.
