Just won a Swifts Syphilitic Specific from e-bay. Cobalt blue, 9 inches high, a beautiful early med. Maybe when the new changes are made I will be able to posts pics

A great one ANDY! They are beautiful and last I heard [some years ago] they were in the near $1,000 range...they were from ATLANTA GA.I had a chance to buy one that had it's top put back on..very poorly,but could have gotten it for $100..it was mint other wise and now wish I had bought it and gotten a pro. to redo the top or just left it as was..not that easy to find them!! GLAD FOR YOU BRO.! JAMIE

Thanx Jamie I priced several at sites online and they varied a bit but all of them were over 1100 dollars, and the condition wasn't stated on most. They are indeed impressive bottles, and were labeled as a cure...Andy

Wow. I could add up the last 50 bottles I bought at shows and on ebay and I am not sure they would have added up to that price. 827.99? Mind boggling. As Mike Dolcini used to call an "advanced colletor". Wow.

Thanks Jason for the complement, and posting the pics, the thing I loved the most is how offset and crooked the applied ring collar is, I don't know about advanced collector, but I have been at this for a looooooooong timeLOL[:)]
