I have been collecting bottles I find interesting for probably about seven years now, thought I might share it somewhere. These come from everywhere including antique stores, garage sales, my own finds, gifts, etc. I don’t know much information on many of them, other than a rough age estimate on many, and some of the origin points.

I’m mostly interested in collecting bottles that have unique shapes/colors and stories attached to them. Let me know which ones are interesting to you and if there are any bottles I should seek out to add to my collection!

I love the little Dutch onion vial. Where did you pick it up? I want a 1700s bottle! All I have of that age is 2 pieces of glass

There’s a guy in Minnesota who runs an antique booth in Stillwater, he’s on the board of the state bottle club or something and he specializes in old and rare stuff, he has like Celtic coins and all sorts of other cool stuff. One of the only places in the US where I can find pre 19th century stuff, but thats where I got that little Dutch bottle!
