I recently sold a citron 3 piece mold whiskey on eBay for $30, yours should be close in range with that if it`s as crude as you say. I have a Hedge medicine I picked up last winter at the Somers show, except that mine has Hartford, Ct. on the side instead of New York. I`d never seen another one before until now you have a N.Y. one. Mine is very crude but not pontilled, I couldn`t say which of ours is older, I can`t seem to find anything on the company on the internet. It`s hard to put a price on that one, but the others are mostly $5 to $10 bottles. I hope I helped out some.

Does your's have the dot on the base and a 3 pc mold?  Any idea about what the dot was for, maybe air venting?  Thanks again for your ideas Bill!

Most of them are 3 piece mold with the center dot on the base, but I couldn`t tell you what that is for. A person could make a nice colorful collection with these whiskeys. There`s no secret to taking decent pictures, you mainly need a nice light plain colorless background, good lighting, and practice. Keep finding those bottles, and maybe I`ll run into you at Mansfield or someplace! _____________________________ Always looking for anything Bixby: bottles, tins, boxes, trade cards, advertising, etc. Been collecting for 33 years and still don`t have enough of them!
