This was said to be found in a thrift store recently for a $1, it's an iron pontiled W. Wolf from Pittsnurgh in an very rare color, people are estimating maybe $40-50,000 for it at auction....WOW!!!

I go to thrift stores everyday, very rrarely see any bottles at all if I do they are all commons worth 1.00 at max but they always have them 2.00 an up.. If anything out of the normal comes in they hold them for me.. Only thing out of the normal they gotten was the wheaton repros which I passed on.. I did asked an if they had the skull poison wheaton which they didn't have..

I spoke with a fella in Tennessee the other day. He picked up a Green iron pontiled barrel (only one he has ever heard of) from Memphis, at a flea market, for $2.00.
It DOES happen, I guess.
