<p>[QUOTE="Bookahtoo, post: 4364668, member: 31"]I have a guy who comes in every week or 2 and brings me bottles. He only keeps the milk bottles and brings me everything else - including other things he digs up, like a lightening rod top, cast iron cars, etc. </p><p>Well yesterday he brought me in some nice bottles (he just gives them to me), and mentioned that he had kept one to give to his sister as a thank you for something. He described it and he said he thought it might be worth a bit - he really didn't know, he doesn't have a cell phone or computer. </p><p>I looked it up on my computer then and there and said "Paul - have you told your sister about this bottle yet?" He answered "No". I said "Give her something else". I offered to sell it for him for no commission because I owe him for all the nice bottles and things he brings me. I <i>know</i> he can use the money. He said he had thought it might be worth around $50, and he'd probably be crazy not to sell it. </p><p>I said it was up to him, but whatever he decided, could he bring it in just so I could see it and take some photos to show my friends on the antiques forum?</p><p>So here it is.
