The Mysterious Mickey ACL from Pittsfield, Mass!!

[tsalz14]

This ACL sold for $1,175 dollars last October, and I have been baffled ever since. Why is it worth this money? How many are out there? Can this bottle be tracked down and researched?This surely is a job for the antique-bottles forum. If anyone has this bottle or has any information about it, please leave it below. I am intrigued by this piece, as I am sure some of you are too.

I believe there is a (round-about) connection with the brand and Mickey Mantle, which might explain the elevated collector interest.

If that is the case, then the price can be somewhat understandable.
Thanks, SPB.

The bottle is certainly a mystery. Anyone else's input could start up a great investigation.
