Ga Ga for Greeley's

[Johnny M]

Picked this up at an online auction. Paid a pretty penny but the pics from auction were dark and made it look dark puce or something. People saw it and bid but bailed far below what I feel this color is worth. Couldn't believe the color when I got it. Cost like 8 bills including premium and shipping but its dead mint! One of those famous Greeley's chameleon colors. What do you call it? I'm now hooked on them and will start a color run. Pickles are my favorite but now Greeley's are runner up! Johnny M.

what color did they call it? what color do you call it? is it apricot maybe? Leon.

 

[Johnny M]

They called it green with amber tint and it can turn greenish in different lighting but I think it's more if a peachy topaz. Website pics had it looking like a dark puce tone but while pics were crisp and clear there was no backlighting at all to show color really. Just dark looking. Odd color but so sparkling crude and clean. Absolutely nothing wrong with lip either. Definitely an attic bottle. Pristine! Johnny M.

what auction site was this? an auction site that specializes in selling bottles would usually get good pics, sounds like this auction site had bad pics? Leon.

Amelia Jeffers out of Columbus Ohio. They auction estate collections etc and don't specialize in bottles.This was just one of the lots. I asked for extra pics and got 2 but they didn't add them to item description so I was possibly only guy who got extra pics. They showed it lighter but still kinda off. I just rolled the dice. Sure didn't crap out that's for sure. Johnny M.

that explains it, those estate auctions always have bad pictures. was it online bidding? set prices? or in person? Curious. Leon.

It was online bidding. As usual, everybody piled on at the end. I get deals at times on other groups of smalls like medals,tokens,etc but you can just about never steal a good bottle. We are a voracious hoard for good glass! Johnny M.

Great Greeley's on Ebay but...
Just search Greeley's Bitters.I don't know how to link items on my phone. I might have started my color run with this one but inside edges if lip look ripped up. Could be factory as the guy states and probably is and he has many pics but it bugs me none the less. Fairly extensive issue. What a color though! A true screamer. Johnny M.
