He and his wife, Angela, were previous owners of a local antique store. Their collection started when they first got married over 23 years ago, although his collection of bottles began when he was a child. “It was the thing to do back then, as the soda bottles could be turned in for a refund. That was before most things went to plastic packaging and we became a throw away society,” Mrs. Toney commented.
