Antique Bottles and Glass - learn a lot more from Heckler Auctioneers

I learned about this interesting business just up the road in Woodstock recently.

Norman C. Heckler and Company are auctioneers.

They sold a glass flask with General Jackson's bust on it last October for over $176,000.

WHAT???

That is amazing to me, and it also raises a million questions...
1) Where do you find an old bottle like that?
2) How the heck do you know it is valuable when you find it?
3) Who on earth would spend that much to take it off your hands?
4) Who do you trust to find out the value and get it for you?

It seems to me that the answer is to go straight to Heckler's and get their expertise in such matters.

Since I have dug up some glass bottles at the tree farm over the years, I can appreciate Heckler's enjoyment in their business of dealing with antique glass. I know my glass is very valuable...to me...since it recalls lots of fond memories, and looks so pretty sitting on my porch.

Get digging and find your own valuable memories!

I am a Putnamaniac because there are auctioneers, like Hecklers,  that deal with very interesting articles right up the road!
