I know it's a broad question, but you have any quick tips for antique bottles? I've bought a couple cobalt blue medicine bottles for quarters based on cool looks and a White Horse Whiskey bottle today for $.75. No idea what I'm looking for though. At the moment I'm going based on cool shapes and embossing/wording. Anything that would be a quick indicator of age, quality or collectibility?

True. Always end up not checking the sold. CM, trying to see you profile picture. Semper Fi?

Yea. Ton of them on there. Lots that look similar, but nothing the same. I'm looking more for the history of the machine. When it was manufactured than I am for the price though. I'm not too fond of eBay pricing either. Everything is "rare," "vintage," and "hard to find" on it. Prices are absurd for some things too.

New to the forum. Excited to tool around. Being a CPA I ended up finding an old RC Allen adding machine at an estate sale today for $20. Been finding them all over the internet but none exactly like the one I have. It's a "66" in red with two red buttons. I either see a white "66" with two red buttons or a red "66" with one red button. Not looking to resell, but I'm curious to know the age of it and what it's worth (more so the age). Just a cool conversation piece that still works well. I'm working on attaching a picture.

Any info is appreciated. Thanks!
