I haven't been buying bottle recently but one afternoon while on a drive with my wife, she insisted I go into this antique barn and look at the glass. I obeyed and this bottle was the first thing I saw when I came in the door.
This is a very clean bottle with one litte flea bit in the collared lip. It is the one on the left, I believe.
front panel: Doctor/Pierce, lower space for label
side panel R.V. Pierce M.D.
side panel Buffalo, N.Y.
back panel: Extract of / Smart-Weed
in olive yellow or lime. Kinda of a citron.

Nice one, Joel. Man, you have a knack for finding bottles in really cool colors. I've only ever done it once, picked up a true lime green Dr. Kilmer's for $19. ~Jim

I was thining about the bottle maker who made this, obviously by mistake or chance. Dr. Pierce smart-weed was a darker product and the color of the bottle surely wasn't tantamount to the bottle makers main task. So he didn't care. 100+ years and we collectors care and are quite happy he made a mistake. Then the next question is ... how many did he make? It is one of the prettiest yellow greens I have ever held in my hand. It has a nice warm feeling to it. Radiation?[;)]
Here is a colored fruit jar I have for sale on ebay.... Atlas EZ, med amber. Very clean and probably will go for very little.

Here is a better shot of the Atlas and if you look to the left jar you will see probably my favorite colored fruit jar, an Atals EZ yellow I picked up for a song in a barn.

Yes, thank you Lobe. That was used a bit more tongue in cheek as I was referring to any use of uranium to obtain the yellow in the glass.
