Hi Georeoj,
It is a serious bid. You never know. There are already 45 watchers. Usually that means a lot of bids coming. Thanks for rolling it out if that is you. It took me years to be willing to pay anything for a bottle. Now I regularly set records for Wisconsin bottles. At some point I just came to think I want to appreciate what I have and thirty incredible bottles is more to appreciate than 1000 really good bottles. Yes people go both ways on that one but I really enjoy the ones I had to sell hundreds to afford. I hope you do win it if it is one you would love!
Dean and David, thanks for the kind wishes. It is one of those bitter sweet times. Even though it is an incredible piece of early American figural glass it is not as awesome to me as the least of my colored sodas or pontiled Wisconsin rarities. My collection is all Wisconsin. The attraction to me is that it is so rare and I found it. This one will be more appreciated by a serious fruit jar or early American glass collector than it is by me. That is reason enough to let them have it.
It is one of the cooler bottle find stories i know of and an example of the power of this forum. Is there anything the people here can’t figure out or don’t know?
My best,
Steven
