Almost always, a decent bottle on ebay will get the immediate notice of the ebay sharks and quite often result in a last minute sniping frenzy. There are very few steals to be had. But every now and again, usually because of a title and/or description some how not formulated to the seller's best advantage, a buyer can find a real bargain. The only such ebay buy I've been able to manage is a CRUMPTON'S HORSE LINIMENT bottle. It's aqua, with an inward rolled lip, about 4 inches high, cylindrical, and with an op scar - the typical 19th century liniment bottle. The condition is untumbled, sparkling mint. Those of you who collect medicines probably are familiar with CRUMPTON'S STRAWBERRY BALSAM originating in Attica, Indiana. I believe his horse liniment is the tougher bottle to find. I paid $20.35 including shipping. It probably would sell for $300 plus at auction.
Anyone else want to share his or her best ebay steal?
