    As a hobby, my dad dug bottles in the 1970s. I want to sell some and had them out at last year's garage sale, but didn't sell even one. Either the market has petered out for this collectible, or I was asking too much (I did research prices on eBay). Any opinions on what would be a reasonable price?

    I'd say the dollar mark is about where they'll move. People don't collect bottles any more either.

    I love their history, but yes they are hard to move, sadly.

    There are bottle collector clubs, I know there is a very active one in Rhode Island. Have you checked for a group like that in your area?
