Zumalts book pg76 says: There has been reported nine different variants of embossing on this style bottle. An Australian import and very desireable but no information available. Values range depending on embossing. All are scarce in the U.S. Approx. size 14 1/2" 12 Sided mine is also green like yours the book says aqua anyway hope this helps some...

Status: offline This is another bottle that is pretty plentiful here in Australia, some have a horse and rider embossed on the shoulder, most don't. Here is an old advertisment for Champion's Vinegar from 1888.

I wonder if an 'exchange program' could work? We'll send you some 'common' U.S. cures and foods in exchange for 'common' Aussi's! I believe the champion might sell well over on this side of the pond, it's an attractive bottle. < Message edited by Maine Digger -- 3/25/2004 9:45:49 AM > _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to Kim) Post #: 8
