I'm considering selling some of my "less precious" bottles at my mom's flea market booth. Based on those of you who buy from flea market/antique stores, are you more likely to buy a bottle if it is displayed neatly and labeled "Antique Medicine Bottle, 1870s-1880s", or if it is just put on a shelf and labeled "Old Bottle"? Which is more attractive to a collector in the market for some new pieces?

I must agree with the crowd this time.apples and oranges.Would you rather buy an apple called apple or an orange called sunkist? The more "proper"or factual sounding the wording in the advertising,the more sales.You're right.It isa ploy,but it works.Good Luck with the sale!
