I pay top prices for collections of old bottles in the categories I seek. I've purchased single bottles as well as more than 100 boxes in a single collection.

I buy from both longtime experienced collectors, construction workers who salvage bottles from work sites, casual collectors, and have helped families settle estates.

Please note - I DO NOT buy any machine made bottles, those made after 1900 generally. This includes milk bottles, Coke type soda bottles, Chlorox, etc. More than 95% of the inquiries I get are for these newer, more common bottles. They may be collectible, but I'm not your buyer. I'm mainly after pre-1880 embossed bottles and associated artifacts. .

If you have earlier bottles and are thinking of selling, please text me pictures of bottles or groupings. This way, I can see ages and types. Please let me know your general location so I can consider whether it's within driving distance or would need to be shipped. My location is just west of Philadelphia. I'm willing to travel to view better collections.
