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
