Just by luck I recently came across three higher end bottles on ebay, and managed to win them! One was almost a steal. Guess I have the economy to thank for these!

Ayer's Sarsaparilla- in a green aqua color I want to call citron. Next to an aqua bottle it is strikingly different in person

A teal Warner's I have never seen before. Not related to the Warner's Safe bottles, but it will be my second Warners, the other being a free sample. A potstone crack and a lip chip, but I couldn't ignore the color!

An extremely rare Caswell Hazard Labor Omnia Vincit Newport RI medicine bottle. Usually found in cobalt, ext. rare in amber, this one is yellow amber! Also a sm. lip chip and very small crack, but it may be a unique example.

And lastly the steal, a Billings Clapp & Co. Boston grass green? medicine. Usually these bottles are embossed J.R. Nichols, which is the older name of the company.

Nice Wm Warner bottle. They made a load of different bottles.
Here is an early one with pills still in it I sold a while back...
