Not sure if this is the right forum or not, but I bought this Wyeth cobalt blue bottle at a flea market recently for $5.00. It is 12.5" tall and is blown in mold. The picture makes the bottle appear taller because it is at an angle. Today I got the American Bottle Auctions catalog and the same bottle appears to be listed in auction 156. The auction description matches this bottle to a "T". They estimate it to sell at $200-$400 with a minimum of $100. Now, I understand condition, etc. affects the value. What I am wondering is is my bottle the same, or where there other varieties of this bottle? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

I sold this bottle on e-bay a few months back for $100, you did really well if looking to resell it, if not it's a beauty in that size......Tha'ts alot of Cobalt in the window.....Jim

I don't see it bringing much more than $100 though, that $200-400 is overblown IMHO

Thanks for the info, guys. I was not expecting it to be worth 200-400 either, but $100 or so is quite nice. I don't have any plans to sell it, but it's always good to know I made a good buy.

I usually see five dollars on a Noxzema jar. Damn, that's a good buy!

Nice find Topps, that's a lot of blue. I picked one up earlier this summer.

That sure is a nice one. I've seen a few but passed even though I really wanted them due to price. $5 you can't go wrong.
I have a light emerald color unmarked but that's about it for the big ones.
