Hey Digger,

If you look on page 141 of the 5th edition of Michael Polak's "Bottles Identification & Price Guide", you'll see a picture of the Hair Restorer bottle listed for $375-400. I have two of them myself and would gladly sell them for half that price ! Maybe a call to Michael is due. They are nice bottles though.
