Found a cool bottle yesterday, here is the thread I started about that bottle.
http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/bottles-glass/396819-my-first-bottle-hunt.html

I'd like to know what that bottle is worth and would love to know about broken bottles.
If an old bottle is broke or cracked is it worthless? What is the norm in the bottle collecting community? While hunting should I just throw it back (as they say) or is it a keeper also? Just on a resale worth, not to say that I would sell them, just if I was.
 

I am pretty sure they do have some value. I think it might be from the early 1900s. I've been to a store where they sell those from $5-$25.
