I paid $144 for an OHP Rose bitters bottle from RI, which can sell for up to $450. And two years back $164 for an iron pontiled 8" Davis Vegetable Pain Killer. I threw in a not very serious bid for the Davis and was surprised to get it for that much. They're up around $500 now, though my example is lacking the iron.
So I'm cheap even when it comes to expensive bottles []

The most I have paid is $240.00 for a Keene Masonic flask. My collection is near if not over four hundred bottles. I have paid over two hundred on two bottles the Masonic and a Ravenna Travelers Flask. There are four in my collection that are just over one hundred and the rest are dug or under a hundred. I like high end bottles but I havn't been able to commit myself to them and probably never will. I guess it's because I collect other things to or maybe because Im just to darn cheap.

Can not recall the exact amount, but with in ten bucks 250 for a bottle, a sweet amber strap flask from the Central Rail Road Hotel in Manhattan and about 10x that for a script jug saying "Mother Loves You",which was dug locally.

Where has the Cord been lately? Heard from him a while back, hope he is doing well. I love his posts, again - he should be teaching at Columbia. I started my grad school work there and dropped out. Maybe if he would have been there...???

We paid $1150 for our KU-10. And when we had to sell it (regrettably), sold for $1800. We miss that bottle every day. Was a low time in our lives.[]

Since collecting and starting about 15 years ago with my dad, I can happily say I have yet to spend any money on a bottle aside from gas and time [] Collecting anything from old milk man carriers, to inks, perfumes and sodas, time and gas probably close to a grand but monitarily ZERO!!! []

The most I ever spent on a bottle was $200.00 . It was a Caspers cobalt whiskey . I thought I just had to have one for about twenty years , and finally came across a mint version and I bought it . A year later I found another mint Caspers for thirty bucks in an out of the way shop , talk about being shocked . So I sold one of them to a doctor for three hundred . About another year later I bought a dug four cities Caspers for eighty five dollars , so I guess I have nothing in it being I made a hundred off one of the others . I found another one that a guy had that wanted four hundred for but passed on it . Seemed kind of strange , I looked for one for a good twenty years before finding one , and over the following two year period I found three more . One just never knows I guess .
