They sell bottles with EXCOGITATED TITLES.... they out themselves right up front... means excogitate meaning come up with and idea.... the name of the bottle is their idea...
excogitate: devise, invent, contrive , formulate,TO FORGE By George, I think I've got it!that way they are covered.bottle is real and fake made up lables for dummies...that shouldn't be allowed...but, they are disclosing so I guess you could look at it as it's funny. [:D]you get an old bottle that's a conversation piece.How much is that bottle really worth for a bottle of that age?

As a former graphic designer I suspect this label is computer generated. The typefaces are too current. You do not see type like that on truly old labels. I vote with the "stay away" crowd.

Locally it's probably around $10-15 dollars. Could be more but could be less, too.

I see those bottles for $1 or 2. There must of been a lot of excess stock of them because sometimes you see a whole box of them at a time.
