There are many websites that help identify bottles. Here are a couple for you to start with.

www.antiquebottles.com
www.sha.org/bottle/index.htm


Now how about posting pix of your bottles? We wanna see them!

Pics are always good. I haven't been able to photo my stuff yet, but it's important for id. There are some great sites online for bottle collectors. I've found them very useful as I learn about bottle digging and id-ing. Ebay is good for the going rate, but it doesn't have much to do w/ reality. There are people here, including mah silly self(IMHO ) who know a thing or two about bottles- or at least how to id them. I expect the moment I get pics up here, I'll get responces. But when you can't post pics, the best you can do is comment on others' bottles-- or describe your bottles to the nth degree, if you kno what I mean. "a picture tells a story, don't it!" HH and BTW, NO question is stupid!

There are no stupid questions...just stupid answers.

Here's the most comprehensive site I've seen on bottle info..http://www.blm.gov/historic_bottles/
