When I bought this bottle on ebay as a repair project, the seller had noted something like it was super rare, one of a few known examples... Little did I know how rare it really is!!!

Yeah I saw that one on there, how much money did you save on yours, because really the hole isn't all that noticeable.

All righty then, I didn't realize that it was the same bottle. Didn't even notice the repair, good job. Didn't see it OK, STOP YELLIN AT ME, I DIDN"T SEE IT![X(]

Maybe I need some rhumatiz medicine for my lumbago.

Dang, Wayne... Don't do that! I'm gettin' hi on the thought that I'm one of only 3 people who are known to own one... I've never been in the rarified air of such tiny statistic... It's giddy up here...(sounds like horsey-talk, donit?)...

Hey, Miles...

Let's just say that if I could sell mine for half of what the one ending today on ebay goes for, I would have enough profit to almost buy back that E. Roome snuff I just sold...

The A A Cooley from Hartford is a very early bottle I dont know if yours is from the same place. Possibly a little later bottle from the same family. Let us know if you are able to research it any.

PS - I forget where that photo came from. I will remove if anyone has a problem with it.

Check out the link on the third post down from the top... It's the repair post I did on the Cooley's Bitters, and I put some history there... This Cooley is Dr. Samuel Cooley of Hartford, CT...

PS... Who would object to a photo of such a beautiful bottle?
