Seems very high price for a circa 1910 unembossed bottle.
If I saw it in an antique store I might pay maybe $10-20 for it
Just my opinion.

May be worth it for someone who collects items from that area, but generally, unembossed bottles aren't worth that much, unless it's an unusual/rare bottle or label. And I don't see it in this one.

Way too high. For that money you could get a nice embossed cobalt poison, maybe even one with skull and crossbones or an owl. You don't even know if that label is original but it does look about right, but it looks like it has lacquer on it or something which in my opinion would be detrimental.

My Mom's a Vermont bottle collector, and has one of these Burlington Drug Co labels on her shelves. Burlington drug co was a late spin off of Henry, Johnson and Lord, coming into existence right around the turn of the century. So it is a fairly late bottle. Cobalt for VT bottle collectors is a real plus, but the bottle isn't worth more than $30-$45, even to a die hard VT Bottle collector. They seem to be fairly common. Burlington Drug Co sold a LOT of stuff during their tenure.

probably the oil contents leaked some. ya it does devalue it some.
