BTW, thanks for the .pdf it I haven't said it already. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.

The Gilka Gin (pretty sure it's a gin) is a handsome bottle they sell for about $30 the rest is pretty much crap _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc86_Weoye0 ya never come back (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 4

A blasted small medicine bottle fell from an upper self in the cabinet and hit the Gilka below it right on the shoulder, cracked it all to the devil. I am still ticked over that, the Gilka is without question a handsome bottle indeed, but as you state is not all that expensive of a bottle. (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 5

I respectfully informed them that it was a modern repro and should be listed under repros category. Not a big deal, its just sad for people buying this thinking its something authentic. my point was ... as we all know, never buy something based on a story the seller tells.... _____________________________ 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 cowseatmaize) Post #: 6
