My ex-father-in-law was a bottle collector. He spent HOURS pouring over old maps, looking for old houses that were no longer there. His goal was to find the house dump and the series of house privy's. He only collected bottles which were old enough to have pontal marks.
I collected some bottles from antique shows, to use for beer brewing. In the process, they came with some "extra" bottles. Most were junk. One was worth something. I just let him have it. Might have been worth a couple of hundred. He had bottles in his collection worth tens of thousands. Very early, pre-1700, bottles in the USA.
