Michael & Karen Miller
Karen & I would like to thank you for checking out our website, and hope you have enjoyed seeing the many wonderful items we have collected over the last 28 years. Please feel free to contact us if you have a question, wish to deal on an item (buy, sell or trade) or if you would just like to talk. Remember we are serious about our collecting and are willing to pay top dollar for better items so drop us a line if you have something to sell. The greatest thing about collecting is the hunt and meeting new friends.
MOST WANTED

Working on new book!
I am presently working on two projects and would appreciate any help that can be provided. These are an updated edition of A Collector's Guide to Arizona Bottles & Stoneware and a new book, A Collector's Guide to Early Arizona Milk Bottles. If you have information on any new items for A Collector's Guide to Arizona Bottles or Stoneware or have any early milk bottles or advertising from Arizona, I would appreciate hearing from you so I can get the information to add to these books.
I Need Your Help!
If you have examples of any of these early Arizona milk bottles I would love to hear from you. I have presently noted the existence of these bottles but have not seen them to draw illustrations for A Collector's Guide to Early Arizona Milk Bottles. As you can see from the length of this list, I have a way to go to finish this book so any help you can provide would move this project along faster to completion. Thanks.
