Learn More about Antique Bottles
and Glass
This section provides general information on antique bottles that will
help new enthusiasts with the basic knowledge they need to buy bottles
online. It will also help all buyers understand the terminology used
in our descriptions. We barely scratch the surface here. For an in depth
look at the subject of antique bottles see American Bottles & Flasks
and Their Ancestry by Helen McKearin and Kenneth M. Wilson.
This book is widely recognized as the best reference source available
to the American
bottle collector. It has been out of print for many years and sells for
about $125 for a nice copy, when available. There are many other good
bottle books with general information, and some that focus on specialty
categories. Again, most are out of print. Check our antiquarian
book site for many hard to find titles currently in stock.
