Treasure Hunting In Your Attic
One of my neighbors sent out the following email:
Today, I was doing work in the attic and found a treasure collection of antique bottles. I brought them down, cleaned them and googled them. They are worth quite a bit of money, I have a mason jar with a zinc and porcelain lid dated November 30, 1858. I have a 1920's vinegar bottle worth $40.!
Inside 2 of the mason jars were one quarter each. Dated 1917. I went on line and they were selling for over $1000. One had recently sold for $3700. Unfortuately, the quarters are not in mint condition.
Moral of the story, clean your attics
I related my treasure hunt story in a prior post. Anyone else had any good finds?

I read your blog with interest as I was digging in my yard today - close to the fence (I was uprooting one plant not doing so well to re plant in a proper place) and dug up the same 30 count Phenolax Wafers from Upjon Bottle - again like yours, right by the fence. Did you find out any information as to this bottle and why they are planted or thrown by the fence lines?
Unfortunately, I have not.
