With that name and from that era I wouldn't be suprised if your bottle contained cocaine, Radboy![]

There is some white residue. Probably lime built-up though. Surprisingly very little activity pertaining to this bottle. Must be a keeper.

Hi radboy !
Can you post a pic or two of your bottle ?
And is it pontiled ? Brian

I believe I can buy a pontiled Peruvian syrup for 50-60 bucks off a local OLD digger..he dug for 40 years, never sold a one. Then one day he started selling...he had BARNS full..I missed the best ones by 4 years..

Here is a PERUVIAN SYRUP without a pontil scar. I sold this one three years ago on eBay. I don't remember exactly what it brought, but it was less than $50, I think.
