You can definitely find all kinds of wonderful bottles in the old trash dumps. We found many at my grandfather’s farm. It’s almost like an archaeological dig!

I started collecting bottles over the past year when my husband started working for a bulldozing service and was turning up antique bottles on his jobs. We had a great time researching the bottles and their worth. If you live or know people in a rural area. ask to hike their property or explore their creek beds. Many people long ago threw trash away in what is called gullies or branches then bulldozed it over. Bottles are easily found that way. I also heard from an old timer that they used to eat lunch on farms and leave bottles under trees so areas under and around large oak trees on farms are meccas for bottles. If you can get here. The warrenton, Texas antique show has tent after tent of colored antique bottles for sale and trade. You are n my list as we unearth more bottle treasures.

I also love bottle trees. I have 2 a friend made from rebar. My first one was made with a 4×4 wood post with gutter nails stuck in it. I just took it down because some of the nails started drooping down from the wood being wet. Friends have saved bottles for me and I have bought some from a Brew Store. I love the blue and red bottles. I have green, brown and clear also. If I run across an unusual bottle that I already have, I will send it own.

[...] to clean up my yard first, though. Then I can finally have my bottle tree. Ages ago I wrote about bottle trees on this blog. I admit that when I first saw one, I thought it was “tacky,” but bottle [...]
