Best Answer

Starting from the beginning, to be antique, personally, I define as at least 100 years old.

However, antique is not the defining line of valuable. I have numerous colored bottles, or various manufacture and purpose, dating anywhere from early 1900s to early 1700s and none of the ones I've personally liked and collected are worth anything more than 5 to 20$.

Most old bottles are, unfortunately, worth almost nothing, and I would normally sell for around the 50 cents to a dollar range if they're not broken, or otherwise just trash them if they're damaged. If they're at least from the late 1800s, you can ask a local glass dealer if they're worth anything, but beyond that I would not bother.
