Thank you for this video. It was very informational. We are beginners, and we have dug almost every single one of those! Lol!! Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder, we did keep them- but it's still good to know what's common, and what's not.
They are all valuable to whomever is interested in and willing to pay for. Maybe just for a memory is enough. Depends on the area you live some people won't have certain bottles where they live.
Value is in the eye of the one who finds them and keeps them for the old bottles that they are...I am new to finding bottles and this video altho informative...really was a downer.
Mauri Wade Don't get discouraged with this video. The auction houses don't want cheaper bottles because they aren't going to make a lot of commission on a $5 Ball mason jar. Collect what appeals to you, regardless of how much it's worth . Happy collecting!!!
hey, if I was able to find bottles like that on my own, I would be really glad. I wish I could go find them instead of buying them. money isn't everything.
one thing to mention is that there were local companies and makers that were only able to make and distribute their product, or "the thangs" inside the bottle, locally. old hutch sodas and pharmacy medicines are pretty well known for this. i can probably find a bottle here that would be absolutely impossible to find anywhere else
Hello, I just joined your channel. I would like to ask you a few questions I live in a old farm house and in the cellar I have a window that looks under the porch I believe anyway I saw a bunch of bottles sticking up so I had my grandson climb in there and I got 5 1 gl bottles but 1 is what I would like to ask about it a 1 gl basket weave but on the front there’s a clear square good size almost the whole front any idea what that would be? I also found the biggest Atlas mason jar with top but the metal piece that holds the top has rotted away and quite a few others one of the 5 gl has the round lip oh I didn’t state there jugs. What I did love was one of the wine bottles has a green and amber color on it looks like a mistake but I love it and oh a quart size clear Newport root beer have you heard of that? Now this house was built in 1912 so I believe they may be 100 years old some of them there are two milk of magnesium blue which I read are from the 50’s not sure about that I’ve looked at the line that runs up and they all go to the top except for one wine bottle also is there anything to do for the glass sickness? I’m actually still cleaning the inside with the degreaser soaks inside. Sorry so long just got excited because I love bottles have a bunch of little ones I’ve had for years ink wells colics and so on. I also do crafts in bottles but I don’t know if anyone would be interested in buying these so I don’t know if I should use them for that can you lmk what you think of that as well. But I’m really curious about the weaved one. Ty for any replies.
I've been collecting bottles in Australia for 40 years and most of the ones you've shown are just not to be found over here. Some are, of course. I could prepare a similar list of rejectables for our country, which goes to show that where you live is an important factor in considering rarity. That being said, don't send me any Lea and Perrins, or 3 in 1 oils. They made it here by the shipload.
remember to collect the bottles you like!! they may not be worth much money, but they can have personal value. this video was just made to show what auctioneers are looking for, because these bottles are more common. :)
Today i went out for a walk in the woods. Found about 60 bottles, they look pre 50s, some clear, amber, green, cobalt blue. The cobalt blue are genuine philips milk of magnesia. 3 of them. 2 of them appear to still have poweder in with siezed metal caps. Was this a good find?
I think the Hires Root Beer is the best of these cheapies, for appeal, and as a conversation piece.. Not much value as he says, because they are common. But at least they do have embossing, can date to 1890's or so, and are part of American soda history, as far as Root Beer goes. . Sounds like it would be worth a couple bucks to me just for those reasons..
RJ Walker In Oregon there are highly sought after. All the damn yuppies from California moved up here an buy from detectorists an diggers.They pay better then antique shops an ebay .
That's interesting, but I can understand it. To the casual collector, that embossed Hires bottle from 1890's would seem to have value. I was surprised myself it was so cheap. I'm a casual collector in the sense that I mainly collect only 2 names of bottles, but for those 2 names I am expert, and probably more knowledgeable than anyone else in the world on them. (Schweickert and Baas bottles). I collect them because of a family connection with both names. My great great grandfather started the Schweickert bottling company in 1876 and after 1916 another relative of mine named Baas took it over. It's the only reason I am into bottle collecting at all. Digging for bottles looks like hard and dirty work to me, but I guess it must be fun too, because you never know what you might find !
My first bottle that I bought was a Rauleagh's Medicine trade marked bottle, another extremely common almost worthless bottle in my area, the kick is I was stupid back then and I payed 22$ for it without any negotiation
I have a rare tiny half bottle ,bottom end witch is the bottle middle. Not no bigger than My thumb nail,it is glass,with long neck even has a for cork in the round top,kinda pink.it has lots of energy, What is it's eat an
thanks for explaining the histories to these bottles lol this is is really interesting i’m gonna keep my eye out for one of those heroin consumption cure bottles
I dont collect alcohol bottles, I do have one large based ,long necked bottle with pontil.Two stars and the letter "J" on a green disc ,fused on the base.I also have a tiny green bottle,about 2 inches tall ,bottom is round and cant be displayed upright. I like quack remedy and cure bottles plus old perfumes ,inks all pre-world war one bottles.
Nuline is a branch of wheaton glass, they make a lot of reproductions, presidential & commemorative bottles. wheatons bought alot of the clevenger line. they all have that type of fake pontil on the bottom.
This is why I don't completly clean my old bottles,because I don't want to hear the oh they still make those comment so how do I know its old. Mine are 100 plus yrs old and I have close to 300
We have approximately 150 antique bottles to sell and I can send you a photo - many colorful with imprint (Colors: clear, brown, blue, green). Any interest? Please advise.
Very entertaining IF any of those bottles are worth say $5 dollars sell it and then buy a lottery ticket.And if you win the lottery it means any bottle can win millions🙂bit of lateral thinking goes a long way............
Don't get discourage I know this is an older message but just keep looking be happy with anything you find that you like or that appeals to you and these bottles do have value it's just it's an auction house and they don't make a lot of money off of them so they don't want them that does not mean that you cannot take them and sell them at a flea market and places like that and actually make pretty good money off of them
Some people just collect these bottles because they find beauty in them, even if they have no value. You Sir are obviously only interested in the money!
I guess it really depends on who's looking for these types then the value that they would put on it not just someone that's looking to sell. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're probably an auctioneer for buy and sell for profit
I like some of the Lea & Perrins knockoffs, Holbrook, Stephens Son. Some are probably rare. I dug a San Francisco pickle jar, listed as around ten known-in 1980 or so. I think some rare stuff is not so valuable too. Auction for $50-? If is a prize in my collection regardless. Elko, Nevada Cokes are way good, dug a base once, My only Christmas Coke is a Reno from that site. As collectibles, bottles can be inflated by publicity-magazine articles &c. Some really common bottles have a pretty set medium value, as everybody wants at least one. Localism is a factor too, especially in pharmacies and sodas.
@@jenniferstclair4868 No, I'm from Waianae, rural Oahu. I have friends Nevada side, so have spent time there. The John Loeffler pickle jar was dug here, in an area full of 1878-1915 machine shop scraps, from our plantation's mill.
For the most part I disagree. I have sold and still sell these mind of older colorful bottles. You missed a lot of common bottles that mo one wants and are hard sellers like Certo, Clorox, ketchup, mustard, Kremlin, clear canning jars, beer, unembossed liquor, et cetera.
Unless your selling and find this as bad news. If your collecting you buy it coz you like it. Perhaps in time it will be worth even more. Collect what draws your eye for whatever reason.
Value Is relative. Some of the Hobbleskirt Coca-Cola bottles. Can be worth quite a bit. In my oppinion. Ones with a Small southern town embossed on bottom. If it's a Holiday bottle Even more. Most I have ever personally seen one sell for. In my short 2 years as a bottle guy. $150. I have heard tell of more. Been offered $200 If I find a defuniak springs Holiday Bottle. However I do not have actual proof. Such a bottle Even exist. Lmao
You seem to have forgotten the history....there are very many variations and I just happily spent $300.00 on a colored listerine and $500.00 on a hires root beer. ....you are going the Wrong Direction with your incredible lack of knowledge.... Variations.
They ALL HAVE VALUE. It depends on your definition of VALUE. Money does not rule this World, in spite of one thinks. Value is gold you assign to it. That being said, of course some things are WORTH MORE than others. It's up to YOU to find Out?
Nice video! Just unearthed two 1950s coke bottles in our yard. Pretty fun even if no real value. Thanks!
I have sold all those bottles at yearly conventions. Those are great for beginners an entry level collectors.Thank you for sharing.
I just picked like 30 coke bottles today. Does it make a difference if they are from canada?
Only to Canadians lol
I disagree that these bottles have no value; these types of bottles routinely sell for $5 to $15 in flea markets.
That's all his opinion
Collect what you want ... DONT LISTEN to
this Dude
He's talking about value... you are free to collect all the worthless bottles you want!

This is for sellers

I have some how can I sold them
Most turn of the century slick whiskey flasks are a dime a dozen. Most turn of the century wine bottles are that way also.
do they reproduce the hood's sarsparilla bottles?
Just because they are pat d coke bottles does not mean they are not valuable, it depends on what town it’s from.
Great info.
At a flea market someone had a whole crate of 3in1 oils and was selling them for 14$ each!
Same with ball jars but they were only. Around 6$
you mean "trying to sell...."
Interested in a '78 styrofoam label 48oz coke bottle in near mint with sealed cap?
I’d be interested, how would you value it?
Nuline is a branch of wheaton glass, they make a lot of reproductions, presidential & commemorative bottles. wheatons bought alot of the clevenger line. they all have that type of fake pontil on the bottom.

Greg's right amd just remember the older those bottles get the more the value rises
I pick the obscure things, that's the VALUE I assign this.
Ball jars are 15 each and blue are 45 each. Since bottles have blown up. Everyone is getting them
Some people just collect these bottles because they find beauty in them, even if they have no value. You Sir are obviously only interested in the money!
You are free to collect all the worthless bottles you want!..

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you've never sold a bottle in your whole life.
Those are all interesting bottles and they have value. I'd like to have them. Speck for yourself.
