Off the cuff--late 1800s and a definite looker. Congrats. Not sure how rare. Worth more with Jimmy Carter's autograph.;)

1870's I would say. The larger and more primitive lettering style compared to later embosed bottles is quite distinct. Could be 1880's but I highly doubt it's any more modern than that. Great score and a fine addition to any collection, especially with the intact metal hardware!

1870's I'd say also, maybe even late 1860's. Not sure of Rarity but it's gotta be worth a few bucks. Nice pick up. Congrats. LEON.

I would say it is $100+. Very desirable Missouri bottle. The closure is a PUTNAM closure which held a cork in place. If you are wishing to sell it, I can put you in touch with Arlin Cargil who is the expert on these, he would tell you a value and if he wants it will offer you a fair price.
