Default Bottle hunting i did.

In the late 80"s,i hiked the mountains of Cambria and Indiana counties,of Pa. At first i save almost everything i had found,but as time went on that changed .I only kept embossed bottles. I have them in my sons basement,I THINK????
My question is,Are bottles worth any thing???? If they are i would break up my collection. If not,they go back to the dump. I have moved 160 miles from my bottles and he is building a new home and i know he is tired of my glass collection!

Hey Willyp yes old bottles are worth money. How much depends on many factors: type, color, condition, age, etc. IMHO I would get some good pictures of them and do some research. Only then would I think of selling them, Beale.
