Comstock & Steere Blue Bottle

[brick0044]

Im happy with what I was offered it was $700. If I would have put it on eBay I might have got more but I think we are both happy. What kind of bottles are worth thousands?

Quite a few are but not when taken in the billions ever made context.eBay is a funny animal and you can never be sure of anything. One week it may, other, maybe not.I think you did quite well and hopefully it ended up with some who will keep it in their collection. If not, that's free enterprise. You made yours and they'll make theirs. Wallymart doesn't sell at cost either.

Thanks for asking!! Here are just a couple of the more expensive bottles that would round out my Vermont collection just nicely. Unless, I dig one, I will never have one. If I don't dig one in the next couple of years of I will probably never have one. If I had either, particularly the Smiths Green Mt. I would fondle it everyday and never sell it. I would probably ask to have it buried with me. By the way there are some glass pieces that go upward of 50,000 to 60,000 dollars and I am sure even higher than that.Vermont Medicine (web sight) have these two listed at 3000 plus and 4200, respectively. Go to Heckler Auctions and you will see very expensive glass.Joel

As for the most expensive I think the Jared Spenser flasks win. One got to $90,000 last year I think but I swore it would have tipped to 6 figure mark. I was rather disappointed.[] and it wasn't even mine.[]

Most sought after Coke bottles:http://smashingtops.com/weird/10-valuable-old-coca-cola-bottles/ And here it is, .... drum roll please, the most expensive piece of glass ever sold (so far) at 7.66 million (American):http://artdaily.com/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=43433#.U4tMYMJOU5s I suppose the two main needed ingredients needed for today's realization prices are many bidders and rare items.

I sold that 10 years ago for a fiver, thought it was a fake. []

The dragon jar above was listed as porcelain, and isn't a bottle. The most expensive bottle that I know of was a Bryants cone shaped bitters that sold over ten years ago for over $60.000.00 dollars at auction

This one sold for $111,150 at the Heckler Auction:

No, that got blown away by one of the Spencer flasks in 2012. I just checked the price sheet. $109.980 unless there was a retraction or something. There may still have been something else. [8|]I guess it maybe did hit the 6 figures though.

Or maybe a will call Sharon, my price sheet I figured was wrong. Was that auction 100 or did it go back for another try? That's a bit small for adding the commission.
