I grew up in Memphis, and my grandfather and I would walk the banks of the Mississippi River downtown and pick up old bottles. I have hundreds of them. I have all different types. I would like to learn more about some of them. A personal favorite of mine is a clear bottle about four inches tall that is shaped like a human hand. I have boxes of them, but I don't know what a lot of them are, nor am I aware of any way to determine the value of any of them.

Kills me that your 2 Hutch's are common. The ones from my home State are rare or unknown. UGH. Love Hutch's they are amazing! ❤

I stopped going downtown Chicago looking for bottles in the early nineties I was near 20th and state they were digging up some old privies by the elevated railroads and all of a sudden gunshots fired out and people started walking toward me and I ran to my truck and that was the last time I was down there
