Does anyone know the value of  a honey amber repro of the Brown's Celebrated Indian figural bitters?  It has Jamestown Virginia embossed on the bottom.  I believe it was made in 1957.  Any ideas on a value and how many were reproduced?

I found the one below on a completed auction on eBay Rob , it went off at sixty bucks . I have added the link below if you want to take a look at it . Not sure if it is the same bottle you have or not .

There is also another clear one on a live auction on eBay as well Rob . According to the seller , someone contacted him and told him it was made in Europe , and that there was four different colors of them made . Then again I do not know if it is the same as yours or not . Gives a small bit of info on them anyway .

The amber one on ebay is close in color, but it is a smooth base.  The one I'm referring to has Jamestown Virginia embossed on the base.  Thanks for the links.

I only have a couple of Toledo items and their all commons.  The bulk of my collection is dug and I don't run across much from the NE end of the state.  Are there any particular your after?  I can always keep a look out down this way (I usually hit the Mansfield Bottle show and local Antique Malls).  Do you have any Massillon, Ohio bottles (or surrounding Canton, Wooster, Millersburg etc)?

Thought I would add a couple pics.  It is a 1957 repro commemorating Jamestown, Virginia 350 years (1607-1957).

ROB...in the last 4 -5 years I've seen less than 6 offered on eBay...I paid about $35 for mine, which - like yours - is missing the glass "Crown" stopper.

More info found here>

Thanks for the info.  The link had some pretty good information on the reproductions.  They discussed a Jamestown repro with "Celebated" misspelled.  Mine is spelled correctly.  I have been trying to find out how many of the 1957 repro's were made - no luck.  I will probably be selling mine in the near future but researching is fun.  Thanks again.

I am listing a few bottles on ebay this week (this is one of them).  Just a heads up to the forum, in case anyone was interested.
