This is a onion bottle I pick up this weekend at a show. The seller stated it was dug from a privy in Savana Ga. on River st. a long time ago. He said it was dig with several others and 3 came out hole. It showed need a bar near River St. early 1800's. I would like to know if the time is right and maybe the value now. I like it... looks very old.

Style dates to early to mid 1700's . Could have been salvaged and reused in 1800's. I value it @$180-$200.It seems the "Dutch" don't bring what the English onions normally do

Thanks fer_de the the follow up information. I did not realy know there would be a value difference between the Dutch and English. This will be the oldest piece of glass to add to my collection.
