This site is the product of my obsession. I, John Sprung, started collecting bottles in 1970. While looking for nickel deposit bottles, for food money, I found a 1936 Royal Crown soda bottle. Went to the library and found a book about old bottles. It said the RC bottle was worth 5 bucks. That was it. I was hooked. I have done most of my digging in Washington D.C., Alexandria Va, and Baltimore Md., or Bottlemore as we called it, with great success. I now live in rural Vermont. Hard to find much here.
