      I have about 350. Some have their bottles, maybe a fourth of them. I’m about to sell off about 2/3 of my collection and only keep the ones I really love. But it’s hard ’cause I love them ALL. :-) I will post more photos as I go.

        That’s a HUGE collection! Make sure and document the ones you sell well – lots of closeups, etc. It’s so great that you had them all together for a period of time.

    There used to be a place on Decatur Street in New Orleans called Record Ron’s. Ron had a fantastic collection of lunch boxes in the store, his personal collection. There was also a sign stating “don’t even ask” as none of them were for sale. I have no idea what happened to the collection after he died. That sure was a fun place to hang out.
