AUCTION TIME AGAIN!

[milkglassbottles]

Anyone game for an Auction? I figure that it's better to give to the forum than to sell on eBay and it will cost me about the same. The forum and it's members have been more than good to me and it's again time to give something back. In addition to the obvious, I will provide free shipping and insurance. PayPal or any other negotiable instrument will be accepted, no food stamps please.

I am prepared to offer the larger of the two variants of this heavily embossed bimal milk glass whiskey to the highest bidder, shills welcomed.

She is embossed within a six pointed star with a leaf and vine embellishment as follows;
BELLE OF ANDERSON / OLD / FASHION / HAND / MADE / SOUR / MASH

With the exception of one pin head sized flake on a rear fluted panel of the neck area and an in-making lip character line, this is bottle has no issues and it is promised to light up any shelf. I was fortunate enough to have acquired a labeled example so here's your chance to have one of mine to call your very own!

Sooooo, let the bidding begin! Do I hear $100?, $75.00?, $65.00? OK $10 bucks it is!

Cool bottle, Gary. I'll get it started with $15. ~Jim

 

[milkglassbottles]

Thanx, it is appreciated. Gary

 

[coboltmoon]

Put me down for $20.

I didn't mention how long this auction would run because I didn't really think about it.
I have made too many executive decisions today, mostly bad. Any suggestions?

Was that code for I'll make it $30? Gary

Advice: Something you can't make work for yourself but you hope can work for someone else.

Why not, $25

 

[milkglassbottles]

Because YOU just bid $25.00, now he bids $30.00....it's kinda like thanking you in advance! Gary

You say it's the larger version, but I am not familiar with the dimensions of either one.. I bid 3 dollars per inch of bottle height...[]

 

[milkglassbottles]

Uhhh, that comes out to $24.38. Perhaps on another site which will remain nameless, Matt will allow backwards bidding but here it's customary to bid it up. So in an effort to foster good will as well as keeping you in good standing with everyone, I will correct your error by proxy and accept your bid of $32.50 which comes out to $4.00 per inch.

That's right folks, this little gem stands 8 1/8" tall, was hardly used at all! As a matter of fact it was owned by a little old lady back in the late 1800's and only taken out of the cabinet on Sundays after Church and on occasion for medicinal purposes. Would I lie?
