Recently dug up a rare SCD bottle. Only info I can find is in Huggins' book. . Ihave never sold any of my bottles and only really know prices of the morecommon bottles that sell on sites like ebay. I have talked to a few differentpeople that, I think, want to get my bottle for a cheap price. I would love tofind someone that will A) Give me an unbiased opinion of my bottle B) Tell meexactly how rare my bottle is and C) Give me fair market value of my bottle.

It is a #262 from Huggins' book.

Any info would be appreciated.

Hi rhwillia. Sorry I can't help directly with any of your questions but this link, albeit from 2009, I think will give some idea as to your bottles desirability and possible worth.

Put your bottle on eBay. That way, you won't have to rely on your scheming friends and acquaintances to determine a fair-market price.

Several of the less common forms of SCD have sold for more than $1K lately on ebay. A quart "whiskey lip" flask form just recently went off for $1452. And it was in clear. I haven't seen one of these cylinders in amber sell though. I don't know SCD bottles but I'm guess that, being a rare form, it's a rather valuable bottle.

I don't really want to sell it but if its worth something crazy then I definitely will. I wonder what the bottle in that auction above sold for?

i'm by no means an expert on s.c. dispensary bottles but i believe the one you are showing is very rare. i would really do my reseach before i sold it. i don't remember his name but there is a guy from the columbia sc area that wrote a book on dispensary bottles. i would check out his book first and if it;s listed as rare maybe try to contact him. good luck.

I have his book. Read it from cover to cover. My bottle is #262. I know what the bottle is I just don't know exactly how many bottles are known in existence, fair market value, and who exactly to talk to to get this information.

this says to be careful of SCD rum form amber pint. That throws a monkey wrench into it all. You absolutely need to talk to an expert. I didn't know that any of these were reproduced.

Good luck.

This bottle was dug up with many other scd bottles. Repo's were made in the 70's. I am certainly not worried about it being fake. If I bought it from a store, then I may be a little worried but I know where it came from.

A.... very rare example, especially if it is in primo condition( Looks pretty good) B.... pretty rare probably less than 15 known. C ....don't take less than 2 grand for it, if it is primo. All I can say guy, great bottle!!
