    barber bottle?

    I am answering my own question...I just saw on the B.A.M. auction site is a yellow variant of this bottle...they are calling it a bulbous shape barber circa 1870s-1890's...so I'll go with it...theirs sold for $50 but it was also a rarer color than mine. Thanks for the input!! I've attached a pic...

    barber bottle?

    thanks for the answers...the only reason i asked is because Ruby Lane antiques had a picture of this exact bottle (and they called it a barber) with a spout stopper of some kind...problem was that even though the picture on search was the exact bottle I have, they must have sold it, because the...
