    Picked these up today on my way home from school. There is an elderly man that owns a store a few blocks from my house and he hits the garage sales every weekend. He then puts the items in his store and sells them for what he paid for them! He just does it because he enjoys it. I paid $6 for this lot of bottles.

    The second picture: bottle says "Rio Chemical Co. St. Louis. Missouri". That is my favorite bottle from the pic. Thanks for looking!

      Nice sized load, there are some bottles there that look pretty old, like pre- 1910. There are amber BIM's, those are pretty rare. I think these bottles are worth around 20 to 30 dollars as a lot.
