Hi Niko,

Found a listing for that one in one of my old bottle price guides (1986) says Aqua,Round 11 1/2 in. Rare 100 to 150 bucks. Unless a bunch have turned up since I would guess 300+ today that was 20 years ago. Someone else might have some more current info. Nice find.

Not much else for info, just says embossing on shoulder as shown in your picture. That is the first book I check for odd bottles. I have found dozens and dozens not listed in any of the other books I have.Has no pictures, a few drawings but lists and descriptions with. prices for 28,000 bottles. Good to get an idea if a bottle might be rare or not at least. Prices are out of date but can get an idea at least.

You might email Digger for more up to date info...
