I found the St Drake Plantation Bitters in an antique store at its current value, but I talked them down a bit and can hopefully make a little on it.

It has some nice character.

It also appeared to have some kind of seeds in it plastered to the glass.

I think they stopped making this in 1872?

Nice bottle! I really like those Drakes.

And what is it's current value? LEON.

I only picked it up to sell, especially now that my new car is costing so much in repair, ACLBottles.

Hemi, approx. av. of $70 (for an undamaged amber or amber-red colour) not including fees (going off of e-Bay prices). Up to 80, as low as 45, depending on how much one wanted it in the last month. I payed $50, if it is of interest.

Just saying
Depending on the amount of logs 4, 5, 6 log variants and the color these can go for multiple hundreds or thousands

I've read on that. I looked at my colour, but the number of logs is an irrelevant thing to me. Colour variants, I'd collect. Number of logs, not so much. Apparently there's a couple real teal ones out there.

I have at least seen one go for auction on a reputable auction site

I've noticed that the six log version has more collector interest than the four log. Unhappily, both my examples are four log and in routine amber glass. Even so, I am fond of these S T Drake bottles.

I've noticed any common bottle with very little value will almost always get much much more if a oddball rare color. LEON.

Twisted Tea, I think I saw it on a Peachridge page.

Harry, isn't it the count of logs before the roof fro the top of the label panel up, that is how we determine log number?

Hemi, there is a fairly common bottle from my town that apparently has one in a true green. It's like searching for a unicorn, and I've never seen it, but our local expert says it exists. It's worth 50 times what one normally pays for it.
