Is this a rare color for this common bottle?

Hey Imtae2, Welcome to the forum. Values for bottles usually come from references like price guides or auction catalogues and Ebay. Sometimes it's just plain old experance.

Citrate bottles range from the late 1800s to the 1930s and come in a variety of collors, clear being the most common with blue and cobalt comming in second then green and the rarest is amber. In over 30 years of digging I have only seen 1 amber one.
