Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, value is in the pocketbook of the buyer and seller. If you like it it's worth what you paid for it. Another person / collector might not agree with you. I wouldn't give you a wooden nickel for it but that means nothing. The problem is that this vintage bottle is ABM / Automatic Bottle Machine made and made by the millions. The up side is that most are in a land fill. I prefer bottles made before machines did it all, say about 1910 +/-. It's a matter of choice. Most collectors prefer bottles that have embossed / raised letters on the side telling who filled it or what product was inside. Search our archives and you'll see what I mean.

At 4 1/2 inches it's small for a syrup bottle or any bottle. I'd guess maybe worth $1.00. LEON.

Leon. you have added a new view to my eye. I didn't even notice the ruler, perhaps due to the sideways picture. Agreed, too small for the typical syrup unless a sample. It just looks like a syrup in my memory.

Thanks for all of you help...sorry the picture is sideways. I couldn't figure out how to get it to turn upright making it easier to view.
