I started "collecting" old bottles sometime in the mid 80's. We were clearing land to build a house is when I found my first, and they just been popping up ever since. So, I actually don't go searching, but if I see one or two I latch on to them now. Here's what I have found throughout the years. I've been asked by the local library to put them on display there for 2 months, so I've been gathering them up, dusting them off. I will post a library display pic later.
