My old bottles

[greenacres]

Think of why they came up with awnings. They use chamber pots and dumped it in the privies along with the trash. that's why they got "Yellow Fever".

never quite understood the reason(s)  glass bottles landed in the loo--maybe the dead bug one makes sense but any and all bottles seemed to be tossed there--

There were few if any trash collectors, no recycling centers, couldn`t just let them collect in a pile !!  Privy`s were filled in every so often so where better than down the hole and covered up ??

Thanks for sharing your bottles!!!!  My sis-in-law was cleaning out the family home and having a sale.  Someone came and asked if she had any bottles for sale and she directed them around back.  She never saw them come back and all the bottles worth-while were gone!!!!  Grrrrr.

I have always wanted to get a tumbler to make them like new, but I haven't as of yet.

how does that affect the value--

[mart]

A tumbler knocks value down a good 50% !!

I am seconding that remark that Mart said about the tumbler devaluing!!!
