That may seem a reasonable price? Not sure how they got medium sapphire out of what looks like an aqua flask? _____________________________ 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 sewellbottleman) Post #: 3
