Ah, I think I see the light
Thank's to an ebayer that posted on the auction i found this link...

The bottle was apparently a novelty bottle made for Dr J Fogworth's Rootbeer.
You can see the labels read Indian Tonics and Elixers.
The bottle in question was apparently sold at Civil War re-enactments and other historic events.
Mystery solved I think.

its up to $127... wonder if there will be retractions after those posts
Then again it may be considered a rare contemporary soda?

Hope that bidder gets his money back....even a cool decorative piece shouldn't go for more than $40.00....180.00 bucks sounds like a fool and his money have parted ways.

I have one some where you might not have seen MattyO. I'll see if I can track it down. It's label only I think.

Just clicked on the link in the first post for an update.   The item is now gone, cancelled, or whatever.   Did the seller or E-bay cancel the sale?

That was an old post, ebay only keeps auction info online for so long.
