I won't trust just anyone at a bottle show.. they might not know the true value or they might lowball knowing he has no clue... Wish he lived closer he could go to the Baltimore ,MD show in March it's the biggiest bottle show on east coast... There are a few people there I would trust.

I don't know bottles...but I do know insulators!

Shoot me an email with better pics of the insulators (insulatorjunkie@yahoo.com), or post them here. I'll be able to give you the value on those.

Just by looking at what you have visible, one looks to be a threadless piece. Most threadless have some value...anywhere from $50 up to $1000's depending on Consolidated Design (CD), color and embossing.

What is needed most is a clear pic of the pieces and the embossing on each. If you don't want to go into that much detail with embossing I can give you a rough estimate based on CD and color.

Drop me a line.

Very nice collection Paul

Hi FooserPaul, I have some interest in your insulators if you are looking to sell them. I live in Massachusetts, so we could work out a deal in person if you would like to sell them. I know a bit about bottles also, even though I don't collect them, and I would be happy to help you out with them.

Thanks, Chris

I would be delighted to dig any one of those bottles, or several!

Coily, my head is spinning in awe by your collection. Yes!!! Now, that is what I am talking about. Any suggestions in cleaning the bottles?

That's just INCREDIBLE! What a huge task you have on your hands- I don't envy it, but boy oh boy those bottles deserve every moment you can spare. Just beautiful- and SO COOL to see even that small fraction of the complete collection is just a treat! Thank you-- and good luck. Yakker

FooserPaul, if you are going to sell off all these bottles it would be a huge task. Many of them can be researched on e-bay to get a general idea at what they're selling for. It would be to your advantage to let someone with good bottle/glass knowledge come over and assess what you have. Agree on a price with them (don't let them take some of your pieces as payment) and set up a saturday or sunday and get after it.
