Determining the Value of a Bottle
Bottles vary greatly in value. Many people have shown me a bottle they own that they found, thinking it valuable when it is actually quite worthless. First of all, many newer glass bottles have been made, if it has a barcode it is not old at all and usually has less value. Also newer bottles have thinner glass. Another main way to tell how much a bottle is worth is the size of it. A seven ounce bottle is usually worth more than say, a twelve ounce bottle. Also embossed glass opposed to painted glass is usually worth more. Paper labeled bottles are usually the oldest. If a bottle is in poor condition it greatly reduces the value of a bottle. Sometimes you can find bottles that are still full, which is desireable.
