How tall is your example Susan?

 

[susanralph]

It's 71/2" for bottle only and with it's cork in its 8" All "titty's", lip etc in perfect condition. No nicks anywhere.

Well the first one I linked is that size, so I think you have to figure that much plus whatever premium someone puts on a label and some of the pills. The secomd examples is the 5" size which must be harder to find, either way both bottles only had 1 bidder. Are you looking to sell it?

The reason I question the first one is that the seller mentioned that the hobnails were worn down were the label use to be...on this one there are no hobnails under the label.. I don't trust that it is the same bottle, even though the size is accurate. She calls it a 16 A and I am questioning the accuracy of that. There are so many of these buggers out there its a confusing mess for a novice like me.

 

[susanralph]

Yes maybe sell it if I can get comfortable with the value...Where is antiques roadshow when u need them!!!! LOL

 

[susanralph]

Maybe seller assumed that the "worn off" hobnails they thought, were really not there at all ever?

That is a K-16 and the wear she is talking about is too the points of the hobnails near where the top of the label would have been, at least the way I read it...
