About us

I started digging and collecting antique bottles in 1972. I am a founding member of the New Jersey Antique Bottle Club and was the South River NJ show chairman for 17 years & Batsto NJ show co-chair for 8 years. I'm not an accumulator. I find the same joy in dispersing antique bottles as I do acquiring them. Its been a great hobby for me. I continually meet new people who are interested in antique bottles and I enjoy adding to their collections. I try my best to offer a variety of categories in the antique bottle collecting hobby, such as sodas, medicines, fruit jars, beers, Saratogas, milks and paper ephemera. I search tirelessly for good quality antique collectible bottles for my store and try to offer them at a reasonable price. I always provide the necessary photos to reflect the quality and condition of the lot for sale and tend to go 'overboard' when describing any flaws, defects or damage the item may have. You'll be treated not only as customer but as a fellow hobbyist & friend

    Great bottle! Very pleased to have it. A+ seller! As described. Fast reasonable shipping. Well packaged. I got a good deal on this one. Can't wait to get it tumbled. Thanks!

    I'm so glad you like it and I would love to see it after cleaning. I don't tumble, clean or treat anything so if you see a bottle here that may be good for cleaning, just ask and I'll let you know if its a good candidate. Many people buy bottles here for cleaning and they are very happy with their purchase. Every item I list starts at auction at the very lowest price I can start it. Everybody gets a chance here. I don't list items for double or triple retail prices and then offer Free Shipping.

    Nice bottle! Good price. Fast reasonable shipping. The bottle doesn't have any stain or haze to speak of but I don't believe it's what you would call attic mint. I could be wrong but it does have some swirl marks often indicative of being having been in the ground. Overall, very pleased with purchase. A+ seller. Thanks!

    You're welcome and yes, you could be wrong. I have seen plenty of bottles, that were never in the ground, that had swirls in the glass. The swirls happen in the glass house and in the ground.
