    1. [NJ-Memories] Bottle collecting

    3. Hi Tater. Back again to ask for a picture of your bottle collection. I can't believe there is another nut out there like I WAS. I hunted every dump I could find around our area. We have a bottle collection too. A lot of milk and of course medicine bottles. I found an old spittoon I love, and a pair of old fashioned glasses in a case, they are really old. Was lucky the case was buried deep, and the glasses in tack. Sometimes we would drive our school buses and then rush home to dig for bottles till time to run again. I have a few little old creamers I love but hard to find. I can't dig anymore so maybe thats why I dig people now in genealogy. Take a lot of gravestone pictures too. We have a little shoemaker box we've had forever and knew it was a grandfather's and recently in the census found out he was a shoemaker by profession.
