Hey Everyone!


I went to this garage sale today and I picked up a few of these old bottles I thought were cool and could be worth around $50 or so if I can sell them to an antiques dealer. I only paid $10 for the lot, so if you know anything about these items and can help out pricing them, let me know! Most of the bottles have the original contents still inside. I can also take close ups for any item you need. (Click them and they'll expand much larger).

Oh and the fire extinguisher was $5 and I know it's roughly worth $50 itself. (Never used + full of "juice).

Thanks and happy hunting!

If I'm not mistaken, the extinguisher will be full of carbon tetrachloride. Be very careful!!! Carbon tet will just about turn your lungs inside out trust me! Don't want to sound too alarmist, but if it was me, I'd take it to a fire extinguisher shop and have them discharge it before you sell it. Or if you're a hillbilly like me, just pump it out in the far back of the yard.
 

Good to know! It does say that on it. Not leaking, so good to be aware of, but I did put it outside for the night as a precaution. I'll be taking it to the proper disposal placer tomorrow. Much appreciated!
