I'm more of a budget collector who rarely spends over $75 on a single bottle, but early utilities are one category I just really love, even though they usually aren't cheap at all. My small collection boasts one bottle in this category, but it's a real catch. This is a late 1700s Danish utility bottle(seller listed as 1770's). I ordered it from an obscure website with direct finds from a Danish bottle hunter. The prices on his 18th century pieces were unbeatable and his selection was good. I snagged this(not so little) number for $90 plus shipping, totaling about $110. There's a very similar French one on eBay now for over four times that price.
Anyone else have some early pontil utility bottles they want to share?
