Hi all. Just looking for some info on one of my bottles. I found a beaut at a nice antique shop.
GILLET'S HIGH GRADE EXTRACT and it has a picture of an owl sitting on a half-moon on the front.
One side says CHICAGO USA
One side says E.W.Gillet CO LTD.
The bottle is a light-purple shade, definately 19th century, probably 1870s-1890s (seam halfway up the neck), some staining. The letters are imperfect (not lined up, different sizes). It's 4 3/4" tall and i got it for $4.50. I now consult Hugh Cleveland's Bottle Pricing Guide for help, but it wasn't there, and nothing appeared on the net. Any clues or suggestions? Thanx. Sorry the picture's not great - if you want I'll get a better one soon.
