The Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-09-14, Page 10PAGE 10 —GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14,1983 bottle collectin It's a challenging hobbie but one that Greg Little enjoys very much. He collects different types of bottles, or merchant crocks, from the 1800's, as well as lithographs. A lithograph is a print made from paintings, and the ones little likes to buy is challen are the ones done around the turn of the century. He collects them simply because he "likes the looks of them." The challenge behind collecting bottles is looking for the information that goes with that particular bottle. "Ito mntr.rPmfin" to r^• what you don't have, and find out about what you do have," LAttle commented. The bottles that he is mainly interested in are the ones from Huron County, and after three years of collecting, Little claims he has only reached the tip of the iceburg.

Most of the bottles are hand made, and must have taken a lot of time and effort to produce. Another interesting bottle is from 1895 that has never been opened. It still has the original Ginger Beer inside. Flea markets, yard sales and nostalgia shows are the places Little goes to find his treasures. He also sells the ones that he's not interested in, and trades with other collectors. He even has a few bottles from Stratford and Toronto, but these he only keeps because of their at- tractiveness. Little has found that his hobbie has turned into a full- time part-time occupation, and says he will "probably be at it for a long time." Believe it or not, these are pop bottles. Greg Little collects old pop and beer bottles from Huron County, and these are only the tip of the iceburg, he says. (photo by Anne Narejko) IT'S TIME TO TALK BUSINESS!
