You can always count on Chris Rowell (Baltimore) and others for researching and stirring up points about the bottles we collect that I quite honestly, know very little about.

I have also included two screen captures of some spirited dialog from the facebook Bottle Collectors page that is centered around the three pictures that Chris posted.
