I was at a garage sale and the guy used to troll near the Columbia river for old bottles and antiques.

Being somewhat of an antique buff myself, I bought a couple he had and cleaned them up.

Are any of them worth any real money? How do you identify a classic or rare type?

Most have minimal value, but pre 1900 whiskey bottles, especially Western embossed whiskeys may be valued from several hundred to several thousand buck or more......

Here are a few links to give you a little background....Reg
