Flea market finds.

I thought I'd pick these up I only ever seen them broken. They were pretty clean, no work required!

Very clean indeed! Common, but lots of embossing makes this bottle pretty cool, I've noticed it gets around from a dig here in Calif last year, only a few were damage free but all were stained. Love the monogram!

I've noticed it gets around

I found about a half dozen in a lake here in Wisconsin (in a relatively small area). My guess is that they were discarded by the people that cut and harvested the ice. I've also seen examples in colored glass like a pure yellow one that was really nice.

They seem to be pretty common around here. You can wander around the anitque mall and see them any where from $8 to $30 dollars unsold for months. Still a neat bottle, but way too common.

 

[NorCalBottleHunter]

Yes, way too common!!! But a clean example like StickeyGreen's would probably make it up on the cabinets in my kitchen, commons row, and the picture is only a shot of half the kitchen, plenty of room, we"ll leave the light on for you Duffy

 

[Penn Digger]

Nick,

If you don't have one, I'd be happy to send you a Duffy?

PD

 

[NorCalBottleHunter]

I have one,just needs a GOOD cleaning, thanks though, PD

 

[Penn Digger]

OK.

$3.50 each I knew they were common but like Penn Digger said they are normally 8-30 and in much worse shape. It doesent matter what a bottle is worth as long as you know what your buying and your happy with what you get for the money. Hell even if you dont know what your buying as long as your happy and did not spend more that $20.00 your normally ok.

Even I've found a few, so they'd have to be common. I was always intrigued at how the number of common bottles is directly proportional to the success and wealth of the proprietor, which is also inversely proportional to their market desirability today. The men that produced our rarest and most valuable bottles probably died in poverty, much like early artists.
