ok guys, how much would you offer for the boardman?

[twowheelfan]

i ran into a guy who found this bottle and i want it!
i have a pony. sapphire block letter version, but this one is different!
im made an offer , but he (not a collector) thinks it has more value. what do you guys think? i am kind of willing to pay retail for this because i have not seen one before, and it was found four blocks from my home. i dont know if its IP or smooth and i haven't seen it in person. i got to the site the day after he found it.

if you guys feel sketchy about throwing numbers out. pm or email me (twowheelfan@yahoo.com).
Thanks. i got good info from a great digger and friend of mine and im feeling like i will pay more. i just want some other opinions.
Thanks!

yes, thats like one i dug, i've never bought a bottle! i dont have many, but i have some good ones! this would be the first bottle i ever purchased. the pony i that i dug was one of four found in a 1850's pit with some other choice bottles.

Good luck...[] I look forward to some great pics when you acquire it...

Can't tell much from the pic like color or damage.Is it pontilled. Ballparking for me is 90 -125.

The condition evidenced in the photo tells me that a C-note should easily take it. After a thorough tumbling by someone who knows how it should be a sparkler.[]

don't be too eager or buy it for too much -- you will definitely dig one soon enough in NYC, and especially if you buy this one.

thanks andy.
its been slow going with permissions. getting anxious. i figured, if i over pay a little on this one then murphy's law would kick in and i'd get a permission somewhere.

I dont know dude, I collect nyc bottles too... it looks awsome... id offer $100 for it

 

[bottlekid76]

I think $100 for that one would be a fair price. Here's a lighter sapphire one I got from Rory one time, loaded with bubbles. I love this example []
