Hey Amy, Case Gins are a beautiful bottle and some command a pretty nice price. The upper end Case Gins are your older variety with an applied seal around the shoulder area, pontil scar on the base, and a "pig snout" lip. Your later 1800's with a sloping collar style lip, smooth base, and no embossment are $10.00-$20.00 bottles. If you can post a picture, it would help us all to identify yours. Hope this helps, Kelley

PS. Welcome to the forum!

Ebay hint: You shouldn't have mentioned you have three more bottles in your ebay listing. You probably now won't get as much. If I have multiples of the same item, I list one every year or two.

It is a nice looking bottle and nice sky back drop. You may wish to provide a picture of the bottom. A clear picture. The bottom is what will tell the age of the bottle. A close up of the lip and any other significant marks or idiosyncrasies the bottle may have.

this will let the buyer examine the bottle closely and knowindg you are being totally upfront with the buyer.
