RE: dark purple bottle ? - 7/9/2007 11:45:04 AM    sweetrelease   Posts: 660 Joined: 7/20/2006 From: hammonton ,nj Status: offline man thanks guys that is a lot of info.i will treat as real .i have showed it to a med guy here in nj and he said it was real as far as he knew ,but was maybe a hair bottle made by clapham. said he saw one about 15 years ago in a collection of med bottles ,it was the same color but was not forsale. so as far as a price he had none. i asked about it being a repo but he assured me the glass was old ,and showed me some tool marks i over looked.this bottle was a great find  if not just for the history i have learned from it. thanks again everyone for the info on this bottle,that web site on family history is real cool again thanks ,matt < Message edited by sweetrelease -- 7/9/2007 11:53:53 AM > (in reply to bearswede) Post #: 21

RE: dark purple bottle ? - 7/10/2007 10:46:28 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5160 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline I havent seen the bottle up close but it sounds authenticly old. Judging from the color it is probably a hair treatment. They were the bottles that had the wild colors like that. English hair bottles in general dont bring as high values as American bottles. Even so, i have seen some British hair bottles bring decent prices in glassworks auctions. If you search back through some older ones they had one sale that had a lot of foriegn hair bottles. As a guess I would say $100 is probably the low end. I dont know the rarety of that particular one but values of $200-500 are not uncommon for clean , undamaged, well colored specimens. You would probably be better off selling on ebay or a glass auction if you dont know the value than selling to an individual for an arbitrary price. You can always auction it with a reserve price. _____________________________ 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 sweetrelease) Post #: 31
