I think I maybe scored on this one. I found one listed in amber, same size & embossing..for $125 in an 8 year old Kovels or Warman's...one or the other. No listing for a green example. I'd think green would be rarer than amber, but I don't know. Nice tooled bottle is 8" tall by 4-1/4" by 2-1/2". Embossed on sides with "Dr.Russell Med.Co" and "Pepsin Calisaya Bitters". I assume there were paper labels on the front & back panels originally. It still needs more cleaning, but it's in pretty sharp shape looks like. Anyone know what this might be worth? I traded a bunch of fairly common ACL sodas for it, so I'm not in very deep. The green got me.

Hmm.. I have a 1999 bottle pricing guide that lists it in green and clear, but not amber. They say $40-$60.

Thanks....

Thanks, Kent. The amber is rarer, I guess. I like the other colors, so I'm happy with it. Looks like a good, but maybe not a great trade. Back to the trading floor, got some others today, I'll try to put a couple up that I have no clue about.
