Yellow Hostettor - 1/5/2007 12:20:40 AM    jane8851 Posts: 325 Joined: 12/3/2006 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Anyone know what yellow Hostettor's are going for these days? Just curious, a dear friend gave this to me for Christmas and it's not for sale but I was wondering since it's such an unusual color. Clean, no damage, base marked L&W. This is my first post but I've been collecting 25+ years and happy to have found this board. Attachment (1) < Message edited by jane8851 -- 1/13/2007 12:31:21 AM > Post #: 1

I would see what the going price is on eBay ... I know they've been doing rather well for the past several years, especially in a color like that. There's a medium yellow in my collection, but it's not going anywhere. Rich (in reply to jane8851) Post #: 2

I would bet Jane's would do a bit better, as it seems to be a brighter yellow. They're certainly getting harder to find lately. Rich (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 4

It certainly rates being included in Glassworks or Hecklers type highend auctions.  _____________________________ 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 richf) Post #: 5
