In retrospect American maker is not very clear...!

Status: offline 		oh matty, i know you were trying to be a good guy, but if your unsure about something...dont assume a value.  You did know its a harder one to get, but that doesnt mean its worth a mint. the highest it would go is the $4700 range, but thats pushin it.

i too would say i was wrong if by some slim chance i am.  i would however like to see pictures of your PEZ collection when all is said and done.

I recommended he not sell it on ebay because high end bottles on ebay have been realizing much lower final values than those at the glass auction companies. His listing did not do justist to the item he was selling as I have stated. Its just my opinion nothing more , nothing less.

I also thought it was English as soon as I saw it and the London directories were one of the first places I searched. It has definate English features. But it is apparently an American product.

a high reserve of oh say 2 grand if met would be a very good price for the bottle. if it didnt meet the reserve, he could let the collectors touch and feel it at a bottle show (like the one you go to) and tell them the reserve. then he would get the 2 grand. play it smart pez man, you like puttin prices on bottles...you should know this.

No way, we are just agreeing to disagree without getting personal

Its a free country we are just speaking our minds.

Status: offline 		This should help clear up the question as to the origin of this bottle. I got this from a book online about the history of Uniontown PA.
 
On Jacuary 26 1832, Dr. Braddee purchased from Judge
  Thomas Irwin the property since known as the National House,
located on the northwest corner on Fayette and Morgantown
streets, and finished the third story and erected a two-story
brick wing to the north, extending to the stage yard. To this
he moved his office and his family, and his medical practice in-
creased to the extent that the streets were thronged for squares
with the vehicles of his patrons. I t was estimated that his
practice produced him from $30 to $70 per day; and his patron-
age extended from Bedford and Somerset, and from as far as
North Cardim and New Orleans.
Here he compounded a line of proprietory medicines for
which he had great demands; such as " Elroy," " Female
Cordial," " Camomile Cordial," " Rheumatic Cure," " Cancer
Salve," " Cordial Balm of Health," " Tincture of Health,"
" Gravel Elixir," " Black Drops," etc.

Status: offline 		blade, it was a valiant effort, but it still does not clear up where the bottle was made!

Gunter, argue about bottles, love the wife, that is wisdom, and some good advice I think I'll remember...
