They are fairly common. You can find alot of variants of Atwoods bottles.
Someone recently posted a pontiled version of one.

12 SIDED-AQUA-ATWO​ODS JAUNDICE BITTERS BOTTLE

Here is one that sold on ebay recently for $4.00
The links I found all said "Formerly Made By Moses Atwood". The variation of that bottle that does not have that line may be worth a little more but not over $10. unless it is pontilled.

GOOGLE"PONTIL BOTTLES" AND A GOOD MANY LINKS WILL POP UP...A PICTURE IS EASIER THEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT...IT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH THE BASE OF THE BOTTLE..A PONTIL LOOKS LIKE A HOLE WITH JAGGED GLASS AROUND IT...MADE UP TILL RIGHT AT THE CILVIL WAR PERIOD...SO ONE CAN GO WAY BACK...HOPE THIS HELPS A LITTLE...JAMIE
