Nice display, waskey, especially like those with the crossed flags.

Nice collection. Locals are always the best finds.

Henry:

Could you tell me how much your Samuel J. Leonard bottle is worth?

Thanks

 

[waskey]

The Leonard bottles are worth around $10.00. I have seen them go for as much as $25 since they have the neat looking crossed flags, but not a very hard to find bottle.

Thanks Henry. I am new to bottle collecting and found a Samuel J. Leonard bottle with the flags in my basement of my historic house and didn't know much about it.[]
