I really wanted a deaad shot for bed bugs pontiled he had but he wanted $425 for it... Wow... but it was a Vermont bottle... So I opted for this to stp me from paying more for the other... now I can't afford it, not that I could anyway.
That was the first thing I thought Zane. That was the clincher on the value aspect. It is difficult to place a value on a local druggist bottle but when considering the box etc. it is a personal value.
Not sure how much the stamp is worth but I don'tthink I would break them up. The stamp concludes the history. There is no guessing.
Good to hear from you Zane. Got any good Vermont bottles?
