Picked up this bottle today when I visited an antique pickers place. He had this bottle on the shelf in the barn, didnt know anything about it. I bought it with the hope that it was an Ontario primitive and I got a good price if it were an Ontario primitive. Upon a little bit of research, looks like it is a Buffalo, NY bottle, and also looks like it may be fairly common, sadly. Anybody else have any idea of rarity or value? Any info is appreciated!!

Kyle, Pretty sure it's Buffalo, N.Y. Sorry to be the bearer of "bad" news.

Sometimes the gamble pays off, and sometimes not. I guess thats the name of the game when picking up a bottle on a whim.

I don't understand the concerns. The bottle on the left doesn't look like the picture on the right. So there isn't enough information for my analysis to kick in. RED M.
