About Us

We have spent the majority of our lives buying, collecting and selling

We both have specialized in historical glass bottles, however we've bought sold antiques throughout our entire careers

Martin Van Zant

I have been involved with antiques and collecting for as long as I can remember. You could say that I grew up under my father's table at antique shows and flea markets, namely  G&G Promotions and Stewart's .

I collected various "whatnots" early on in my life, my love for bottle collecting 

began at age 15. I have been collecting bottles for over 30 years now.  

Although my passion lies in bottle collecting, I have an appreciation and extensive knowledge and experience with a wide variety of antique furniture and goods. 

The following is a shortened resume of my experience: 

  • Co-founder and active member of Circle City Antique Bottle and Pottery Club (2008-Present)
  • Founder of the yearly Indianapolis Bottle Show (2008-Present)
  • Board member position held for The Federation of Historical Glass Bottles (2008-2020)
  • Editor and Layout Designer for FOHBC's Bottles and Extras Magazine (2009-2020)
  • Current Board Member for the Hooks Drugstore Museum
  • Serve as an Indiana State Fair Judge in the category of "Bottles and Stoneware" (2008-2012, 2018-Present)
  • Trained at the respected Reppert Auction School and licensed by the State of Indiana

I look forward to sharing my passion of the antique field with you! 


Bill Granger

I have collected antique bottles for over 50 years. I started out digging farm dumps and later moved on to privy digging. I began buying and selling at antique bottle shows in 1975 and still set up at 10 to 15 shows per year. I am also a member of the Wabash Valley Antique Bottle and Pottery Club. 

I have many interests in the collecting world. I enjoy stoneware and pottery, advertising and American muscle cars to name a few. 

  • Co-founder and active member of Circle City Antique Bottle and Pottery Club (2008-Present)
  • Treasurer of The Circle City Antique Bottle and Glass Club (2008-Present)
  • Serve as an Indiana State Fair Judge in the category of "Bottles and Stoneware" (2012-Present)
