Which Sagwa older? - 7/27/2007 7:04:43 AM    amblypygi Posts: 454 Joined: 4/6/2004 From: Western Massachusetts Status: offline I found a Healy & Bigelow's Indian Sagwa yesterday that has a more detailed face than the others I've seen and I was wondering if my guess is correct that this is the older variant of the two shown here (it's the one that's still dirty). Also, my recollection is that these are common bottles worth about 10 bucks; is this true of all the variants? Attachment (1) Post #: 1

They a pretty common and if I where to sell them I'd sell them as a pair, starting at $40. They's more than likely go a bit higher. Rick. (in reply to amblypygi) Post #: 3

RE: Which Sagwa older? - 7/27/2007 3:38:52 PM    amblypygi Posts: 454 Joined: 4/6/2004 From: Western Massachusetts Status: offline Thanks Lobey for the info. I wish I could bring myself to sell stuff, but I really see my collection as a reference work, and selling off pieces would seem like tearing out pages from a book, you know? I usually only sell stuff if it's an exact match for what I already have. Whenever I go against that I regret it...    (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 5

There most likely isnt much difference in age between the two but i like the left one more. It has a nicer mold. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 7/27/2007 10:35:35 PM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to Georgia Peach) Post #: 12

He's quite a character, as you can probably tell from the picture below We went to a dump that I hadn't been back to in years having figured it was tapped out, but lo and behold it had coughed up another keeper!

I was 99% sure we were gonna end up by the side of the road at a car fire rather than diving, but I was wrong  (in reply to amblypygi) Post #: 15
