Status: offline 		This is the best one I ever owned. Picked it up at a antique shop for $73.00. My family talked me into selling it because they were afraid that it might get damaged. I sold it on ebay for $1550.00. Nice profit but now probably worth double that. I wish I still had it as it was one the nicest bottle I ever layed eyes on.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the reply to the "Jacob Pinkerton" bottle Lobeycat, now I can't let my wife see this post or she'll want me to sell it.
She can be quite hilarious, I'll show her some extremely rare bottle, on one of the auction sites that sold for lets say $3,000.00.  First thing she says is "Do we own one of those".  My response, "maybe I'll find one next year".  Thats the "secret" on why she lets me snorkel and dig all summer.  All kidding aside, my wife is great.   Our home looks like a bottle museum and she's never complained once.
Just no bottles in her office.

Status: offline 		Ry, As of now no offers on her but i havent really been trying to much. Im kind of keeping my eye on ebay for a clear one with some damage but a lid so i can get that....but im going to be selling this one one way or the other in a while. . Need the money for my college tuition and what not. I figure ill bring it to the milwaukee bottle show in feb. see if i get any offers there if not then ill start looking through on-line places for a buyer. Want to try and stay off of ebay if at all possible

Status: online 		Could have bought four of those with the original lids a few years back for 1600 bucks  Tony . Only problem did not have the money at the time . Had to buy them all , he would not sell me just one of them . I do have a clear one but always wanted a green one . Could have made a few bucks on that deal if I had had the blasted money to buy them . Thats the way it goes though .

Just displays really nicely!
