Sort of, I have a shelf full of bottles and jars I've picked up from the woods and hedgerows, nothing of any real value but a few are quite old. I'm not a "bottle digger" though. I tend to pick up all sorts of bits I find on my travels, I'm always interested in what other people collect. Bygones, I call them, the ex called it junk, one of them had to go!

samboy Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I have a bag of matchbox tops which must be over 60 years old. I will have to find out if they are worth anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30-6 Posted August 27 Author Report Share Posted August 27 I don't collect them, just wondering if anyone would care to buy them for their collection. Just been picked up over the years and in my shed taking up space. Got about 5 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Please don’t let this turn into a sales thread. Any items for sale must be listed in the sales section with a price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-6 Posted August 27 Author Report Share Posted August 27 Understand that Shaun, just trying to gauge if anybody does collect bottles. If any interest is shown I will go to sales section, that's why I purposely did not mention any price advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something the kids of today will never know. Today they have their phones with every imaginable conceiveable porno activity on it for free.
