I use that Message to Seller every time. Seems they only read it or listen to it maybe 50/50. LEON.
Was it the Willms bottle? The seller is one of the best known diggers and sellers of bottles on the whole Eastern seaboard if it was the Willms, he has been since the late 1960's. I'm sure he's sorry it's broke, I know you would love to have it instead of a refund, good luck in the future finding another...i saw a Jersey City bottle on eBay that i had never seen before or heard of or could find thru google. An attic find, it was in beautiful condition with the Hutter porcelain stopper and everything. I watched the auction several times a day and was eventually the winner. The bottle arrived promptly ... IN TEN PIECES. It was clear that it had not been packed (and positioned in the box) properly. The seller immediately said it would send a refund which is fine but this bottle was beautiful and now, not only is it not mine but it's gone forever. I already had it in my mind as my favorite Jersey City bottle just based on the photos. You folks know what i mean when i say that i feel like someone just took a hammer to the statue of David. just such a shame
Not at all.If it was a well known Digger/Seller of Bottles wouldn't he know how to pack Properly? Maybe they just don't care as I had a well know Bottle Collector send me 2 Bottles together, extremley extremely very poorly Packaged which don't make sense? LEON.
He has almost 10,000 positive eBay feedbacks, he's the best of the best when it comes to bottles, I have tons of bottles from him. I didn't see the box, but everything he's sold me since 2009 has arrived safe and sound. He has been selling bottles since 1968, so yeah he's a great seller and packer. As for your seller I don't know, but I know this seller...If it was a well known Digger/Seller of Bottles wouldn't he know how to pack Properly?

You are correct and they were very nice and refunded the money very quickly. Ironically after not seeing this bottle before, there is another now on ebay but at a price higher than i want to payWas it the Willms bottle?

Most of these show up with the stopper, I have seen 6 or 7 in my life and they all had stoppers. I imagine someone found a crate of them in JC and sold them off, if you keep searching you'll get one at a price you like... good luckYou are correct and they were very nice and refunded the money very quickly.
