Hi KingLouie and welcome to the forum !
Can you get a pic of the bottle posted ? It would help in identification.
There are several different mold variants of the Harter's . St.Louis , Dayton , sample , and one with a motif of cherries embossed on it.
If it has the originals labels ... it definetly adds to the value.

Hi King ,
I really can't make out what it says on the embossing from your pic. St.Louis or Dayton ? And I really can't be sure what mold variant you have there !!! There are several different mold variants...and some are better ( scarcer) than others.
And what size is it ( tall) ? The sample sizes seem to bring a bit more than the larger sizes. The labels look like they are in pretty good shape from your pics.... It is a fairly common bitters bottle, but the labels add to the value......and I would say it would bring around 75.00 range at public auction. It's hard to put a exact value on it.....as bottle prices seem to almost change daily anymore. But , I feel that would be a good estimate.

The bottles is from about 1880 or 1890. I would second the $75 estimate.

Thank you all for the information so far. The bottle is St Louis and is 4.75" high, the labels are pristeen. It's definatley one of my favorite bottles...The mold , seem goes about 2 thirds up the neck.
