Well we can't help you much without more informatiion and a picture or two. There are a lot of little details that need to be considered if the marks of making on the glass. The type of finiwh is important. If it is hand tooled there will be horizontal lines of the rotated tool left on the glass. If the finish has two vertical seams - it was formed in a neckring if the vertical lines do not line up with the mold seam. If the seams are in line with mold seam - it could have been made with the thread in the top of the mold. I could go on further, but we need to do a lot of homework to learn what the bottle tells us.

If I had the bottle I'd happily sell it for 2 bucks and never look back. Yonkers is a big town and ABM stuff is likely pretty common, so I'd take the 15 and run unless you are aware of a vibrant collecting community there which may pay more for it there.

For me and my smaller town of 110,000 though, 15 for a nondescript machine made bottle would be an immediate no-question sale.

I wouldn't mind if someone proves to me that it is rare and that I should eat my hat, but barring that I think you are making out better than ya would on eBay.

If you're looking to sell it, and can get $15, Run, don't walk to that person.
