RE: TEST - 8/15/2007 3:10:07 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5111 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: online Value is an elusive beast.  The best way to determine value is to get data on MANY sales. If that data isnt availible then you have to go by things such as apparent attractiveness of the peice, rarity, condition, likely collector base, etc, etc etc. The result of one sale of a rare item doesnt mean much because I often see the next one sell for a small fraction of that price. That bottle has little apparent attractiveness so its value would mostly be based on local collectibility or rarity. Local bottles are hard to value and i dont know rarity of whiskeys so I wouldnt pay more than $20 for it if I saw it for sale.   _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to Giftsatgreatdeals) Post #: 15

RE: TEST - 8/15/2007 5:04:34 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5111 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: online PS. One thing i forgot to add concerning value is bottles from southern states tend to be rarer and more valueable than similar bottles from northern states.  The south never seemed to have the glass house output of the north... Southern bottles for sale always get a second glance from me, western bottles really peak interest for obvious reasons. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 8/15/2007 5:08:08 PM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 17

Why is it so rare? When was it made? Are there go-withs? What glass house blew it?
