Links to Bottle Sites:

• AntiqueBottles.com is an informational web site devoted to bottle collecting with many  links of use to shot glass collectors.  Unfortunately most of the links are out-of-date, but still worth a visit.

• The Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors maintains a website with many useful bottle-collecting links.

• John Sullivan runs a website devoted to miniature bottles (http://www.minivodkaguy.com).  His main passion is vodkas but he has several pages of pre-pro whiskies (click here to jump to page 1).  Here you'll find many familiar names and colorful labels.  He also has  a collection of mini whiskey jugs (click here).  Even if a strictly "glass-only" collector, these pages may be useful for helping track down the origins of a glass in your collection.

• The Little Rhody Bottle Club maintains an online directory of bottles from Rhode Island with useful embedded information on originators of bottles and their street addresses.  There is also a research page which provides more detailed information about many of the old RI liquor wholesalers, distillers and rectifiers.  

Links to Other Sites of Interest

• The Virtual Corkscrew Museum may not sound as if it would be of interest to a shot collector, but there are several pages devoted to pre-pro bullet and bottle corkscrews with useful information on distillers of origin.  Click here to drop in and take a look. (view as cached, 8/20/04)
