Hello Inkman, I am always interested in the Case Gins - and this one you posted the pictures of is the main type I like to get right now. I have been studying the molding methods of these great bottles - and I guess it is because they were made in several countries and even glass houses in America. What always fascinates me is the development of mold design changes and the mechanisms that developed through their 300 plus years of growing need and volume. Values have varied all ofer the place. So I could only afford the ones that filled in a spot in my methods study. Pleas M me, at your leasure and maybe you could include a picture of the finish - taken at an angle, that would show the construction of the top. RED Matthews

$80 on the gin,$110 on the amber Drakes,$250-$300 for the puce Drakes.The H.P.Wild Herb comes with or without Reading Pa. embossed.If it is embossed Reading Pa. I'd guess $500-$800, slightly more for the other variant.Someone maybe able to get you closer on that one.

I agree with Doug on the values ! Maybe a little high on the H.P. Herb .... because it is tooled lip and it is a darker coloration.

Yup, Id say around the same for everything except the gin, maybe more around 150, and the wild cherry is around 3 - 400.

Around 900 for the lot is right about in there

The herb & wild cherry bitters is around 10 inches tall right? If it is smaller, around 8 1/2 tall then it is the rare small size, and worth more around 1000...
