Hello Bottle and Glass folks.... My name is Brad and I dug a LOT of bottles from many privy pits behind my very old home at the time. My home used to be a hospital WAY BACK in the mid / late 1800's I was told. And I dug up a lot of medicine bottles I believe. But not all were. Couple doll heads, 2 pistols and various other items. I'm going to to post my bottles a few at a time hence "1st posting" on thread title. I don't believe I have any that are worth a ton of money but I have no idea. And I admit I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT BOTTLES at all. So I'll post some pics, describe what I can about each and maybe you folks can tell if any are worth a nickle or dime. And ask if you have any questions or how I can help you help ME...!!!! I've had these bottles for almost 40 years just sitting around and / or boxed up. Now I'm just curious.... Thanks... Brad

The Toledo beer should be a good one, but how good will be up to collectors in that area. I'm sure they will chime in. Not seeing much of any consequence in the others, but nice finds regardless. Keep 'em coming.
