Status: offline My son found a "Little Boy Blue Bluing" bottle and gave to me. Description below. Do these have any collector value ? Description (sorry no pic) :  -Clear glass                                      -Seam runs bottom to top.                                      -Measures 3-1/2" tall x 1-5/8" dia. at base.                                      -"Little Boy Blue Bluing" lettering is embossed.                                      -Makers mark on bottom is similar to an oval ring stood vertically,                                        with > points on right & left. At the left side of this mark/symbol is                                       the number 9 and at the right side number 2.  At the bottom is a 1.       The 5th Edition of the Antique Trader Bottles Identification & Price Guide, by Michael Polak (my only reference at this time) does not list this bottle. Any information or comments will be appreciated. Todd                                                                         Post #: 1
