This is so cool.
I must have one when I'm rich and famous . []
I love it and all bottles to do with hands and stars.

labels certainly make some otherwise boring bottles much more interesting.

personally I like early bottles with good labels but a ratty label detracts from a bottle.
I will sometimes remove the label or sell the bottle.

I thought so too Stardust , but I doubt that is is an expensive bottle . Looks Like an embossed diamond on the base of the bottle , for Diamond Glass Co. I would assume .

Oh, don't do that...it's a wonder even a ratty label survived the ages. Once it's gone, it's gone forever.

Love the mosquito oil. I wonder what was in it.....

I have removed ratty labels too. Some were just so far gone that you could read very little and they did take away from the bottle.

Excellent postings everybody. I keep labels on reguardless of condition. Sometimes a partial label is all you have for info on the maker or sometimes it will give you enough info to point you in the right direction when doing research.[8|]
