Hawaii bottles for bucks?

There was a time, while I lived on the Big Island, when bottles completely mesmerized me. Milk bottles. Soda bottles. All those bottles from the 1950s and '60s. The notion that each little plantation town made its own bottles, bottled its own beverages, I couldn't help but fall in love with it.

Now, though, I have no bottles. They've been left to history and I regret it. But there are some folks around the islands that do sell their bottles and made a nice amount of profit, I'm sure.

Ukulele.com has a nice listing of Hawaii bottles, along with pictures and listed prices. I don't plan to buy these, but the sight of them in photos brings back some nice memories for me.
