Site Update – October 9, 2026: We've added a new Wanted & Trade section to Indiana Bottle Collectors! This page features Indiana bottles and other bottling-related items we're looking to purchase or have available for trade. Other users may also submit items for consideration, and all submissions will be reviewed before being approved for listing. We're also continuing to expand the site with new sections for Beer & Soda Bottles, Milk Bottles, and other Indiana bottling-related categories. The Explore Counties page is currently down while we work on something new that will be simpler and easier to navigate. More updates are coming soon! Have an Indiana bottle or historical information to share? Please visit our User Submission page.
