Special Prize

Ya'll have probably heard of this one. Digger told a story of 50 of these found in an old store basement in a box never been used. To this date one of these has never been dug. Taper top and open pontil. This is one my wife got for me about 15+ years ago. She called me at work saying there was a bottle at an antique show they were having in the mall. She described it on the phone and I told her to get it. She paid 60 bucks for it.In the near 20 years we have been married she has developed quite an eye for the good ones.

Very nice bottle. What would you guess the price at now?

 

[Road Dog]

Probably 175+ just off top of my head.

I see them listed in the auction report in perfect condition selling from 77.00 - 176.00 and the last one sold at public auction was in 1996 and it was $ 99.00.
So , I'd say you are pretty close on your present day estimate . Pontil meds are pretty hot right now .... so it may bring more if sold at public auction.

The last one I saw sell recently went for $130 but yours looks much nicer. I would say your estimate is pretty close.

What this medicine would have done was bring on the monthly sickness in females(as they said in the ol' days)
