Not sure if this is the right place to post this.
This past weekend, I was bored, so spent several hours dusting my collection - whilst I was at it I photographed the lot and as it seemed a good idea I stuck them all on a website.
I'm not the worlds best photographer I'm afraid, but I've done my best with daylight through the kitchen window.
Where I can I photographed the labels as well.
I hope someone may find something of use, if anyone has a non commercial use for the photos, please feel free to use them.
I'm not rich - everything is something I've found in a Charity shop (and with the exception of my duck!) has cost less than a £5... much less normally.

Oban Glass is actually Caithness Glass, they had works at Wick, Perth and Oban. Now sadly, just Crieff. Having the Oban label is great and no doubt adds rarity value, plus knowing which factory it was made in.
See page 7 here (http://www.scotlandsglass.co.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=21&Itemid=35) for a picture of the Oban works.
