What do you like to collect?
Saw a post like this on Reddit once and I thought some of the responses were quite interesting.
I collect all sorts of stuff from vinyl records and vintage game consoles to Harley-Davidson dealer t-shirts.
I'm curious about what some of you guys collect, the weirder the better :D
You're viewing a single thread.
Very small glass bottles. The smaller the better. Bonus points if it's an unusual shape. I have a lot of them and didn't even try hard, people around me see a small bottle and automatically bring it to me.
I can see the appeal, my mum used to collect these tiny (glass) bottles of alcohol that you get near the cash registers in supermarkets (in Europe at least). I pretty much inhereted them when she wanted to throw them out, I even still have them and some are really cool looking.
As far as non-alcoholic beverages go, the small pear-shaped Orangina bottles are pretty cool but I'm sure you've got a million of those lol
What's your favourite bottle in your collection? Do you also keep unopened bottles sealed or do you drain/drink whatever's inside first?
Oh yea! My collection started with those little alcohol bottles. They're so joyful! Unfortunately my ex threw them out when we broke up so I had to start all over. This time I decided to keep an open mind and accept all kind of bottles.
My pride is a vintage bottle of boonekamp. Found it in a flea market. The seller told me it was at least 50 year old. I also love old things so.. it cost me something like 2 bucks back then. It was open but had a little bit of alcohol left. The second is a extra small tabasco bottle, holds only 0.7 ml! That one is sealed.
I don't have a standard really, if it's something enjoyable then it's long gone. Jack Daniels & absolut, grey goose bottles all emptied during weak moments lol. If it's something like a herb oil or tabasco I keep it sealed. I appreciate the bottle more than what's inside anyways so.
Do you keep yours sealed? Got a favourite one?
I have to say it's been a while since I last looked at them and I'm not even sure where they are.... but I kept them pretty much sealed, the alcohol has long vapourised out of most of them anyway. There's one I quite like, I don't know what beverage it held originally but it's like a tiny wine bottle with a small basket around it that goes around the whole bottle.
I can't describe it very well but hopefully you know what I mean.
I think I know what you mean. I've never seen a miniature wine bottle, let alone one with its own basket. Sounds super cool. So cool that I'll try to buy one online. Thanks for that!
do you have a klein bottle?
Nope, it'd be a great piece though! Do you?
I don't, but if I found a store that shipped to Brazil, and had a reasonable price, I would buy it
