It a bit hard to judge the shade in that photo with the yellowish-orange background. A outside photo in daylight might make the color more apparent. The extent of yellow color makes a big difference in value. You often see clear bottles that have a bit of a yellow or grayish tint that doesnt add much to the value. _____________________________ 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 hunter58) Post #: 2

Your's looks like a turn-of-the-century one, and the color reminds me of a few bottles I've had from that time period that were yellowish or champagne color, but turned nice and amethyst when left in the sun for a few months. I would try leaving it outside in a safe place with lots of sunlight, and I wouldn't be surprised if it turned a nice purple color. Regards, _____________________________ LOVE THOSE DRAKE'S!!

I will leave it out on the porch and see what happens thanks again (in reply to hunter58) Post #: 4
