Hello Mike, no, mine is not Appricott. I would call mine orange. Maybe orange amber. Very little amber. A year or 2 ago $700.00-$900.00 would have been a very fair price. Today, U.S.A. Hosp. Dept Bottles are realizing an increased value. $1200.00 is not unheard of but it would probably need to be through a reputible auction house. I would doubt you would get $1200.00 for it on Ebay. Just MHO. Kelley

Yes, Listen to Kelley.

A glass house would be a better market for you.

Ebay is a buyers market!! If you are looking to move bulk inventory, it is a sellers market as well, but the prices, many times, only bring 50% to 60 percent of the items value.

Thanks,guys i agree and would never sell a expensive bottle on flee bay.....

A glass house

What is it they say about those who live in one...?

 

[epgorge]

They had better stock up on windex?[8D]

Nice collection. Were these tumbled? What are the colors of the two on the far right and far left? Olive or citron? I have one that looks olive indoors and citron outdoors.

I can't even imagine what it would feel like to see one of those U.S.A. bottles start to show themselves,as I dug them! I have a MED. DEPT.U.S.A. spoon that I bought in the 1970s. The guy said it came from KENNESAW ,GA. battle field. I had it checked out by a cival war collector back then and the person said it looked to be from the time period. Have you ever seen a spoon like I am talking about? Would be a great " GO WITH " for the bottles. CAN I HAVE ONE TO GO WITH MY SPOON?[] ANY ONE OF THEM WILL DO! THANKS FOR THE PICTURES,I CAN LOOK AT THEM ANYTIME! JAMIE

Hi all, I don't get on the forum as often as I used to so I missed these last few posts. sctreasures, I would call them more olive than citron and yes I tumbled them myself. They were very sick out of the ground.
Sewell,I agree about the history of them. It is why they are my only high interest bottle. Yes I dug them at an Indian Wars fort that was in operation from 1875 to 1890.
Sorry glassman, you can't have a bottle, but I'll take that spoon off your hands![] Thanks all, Kelley
