Not rare by any stretch but people love the great graphics and the label on this one is in great shape.

Many thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll update the listing accordingly. Much appreciated!

Nice, deep kick-up on the base for a bottle like that.

Hi,
I keep a data-base of bottle sales (that interest me) from E-Bay and the major US auction houses. I have one of these selling for $54 on E-Bay 7-10-11 and another one selling for $500 on E-Bay on 3-22-18. Quite a disparity in the prices, but the expensive one was supposedly found in the wall of a house during a re-model and included a pamphlet. The pamphlet revealed that "Lawrence" was W.F. Lawrence from Epping, NH, whose embossed bottles are quite rare & expensive. Hope that helps. Mike

I can attest to the embossed examples being tough to find. It took me 20 years to get a complete set of the 3 sizes known. I think the middle size is the toughest.

Absolutely right. I only have one middle-sized one in my data-base, an example Mike George sold on E-Bay for $638.91. Unlisted and tough to acquire.
