Collector of antique (or just old) glass

[HenHouse4Life]

Dug up this old poison bottle from our woods. I couldn't believe it was intact... and blue!
Does anyone else share this collecting passion?

I like how it's labeled poison. That is a gorgeous glass. I do keep odd and good looking glass items if I find them, but I don't necessarily seek them out to collect.

Sorry I recycle

That's neat and blue! That's stunning! I dug some poison bottles (and dozens of others) out of my backyard a few months ago. No pics, but the poison bottles said "Not to be taken" where yours say "Poison" It's pretty cool. I don't collect them though, I've been giving them away.

We discovered a 'trash' area in the woods by accident that had been buried YEARS ago. We were digging up small trees to bring up into the yard and just came across it. We found old perfume bottles, china pieces, broken crocks.... but this poison bottle was too good to leave in the dirt!

Some of those bottles, especially the perfume ones, could be worth a few $$$ Have a look on eBay etc, though that site is flooded with bottles, it can give you an idea of what's worth trying to sell to a collector, unless you want to hang onto them yourself.

Really? And I just thought it was pretty! Will probably hang onto it because our farm has been in the family for a long time.... can just picture great great grandpa so- and- so using that bottle. Tempted to grab a shovel and do some more exploring!

Pretty! I just put them in my glass cabinet or in a window

Go on then! You may find some more cool stuff out there. I couldn't believe the "treasures" I dug out in the back here.
