Are the Kovel's guides pretty acurate? I was told these bottles are on fire with prices really taking off.Just wondering where to go to sell this pretty yellow-amber beauty.E-Bay seems to be down.Any suggestions for an auction house. Thanks

thats up to you, a very good crude yellow one can go from 800 - 1200, maybe more or less... I recommend glassworks or Heckler...

Not in my opinion.
There are a LOT of variations of those bottles and a wide range of values.

the Kovel prices are very unreliable because of a lack of description... their prices are strait from auction, but what auction, or for that matter what bottle? they dont tell you...

Hello gratefuldigger,
A couple of good pictures would sure be nice to look at. I’m not an expert, but as Bear has stated, I keep a sharp eye out on these bottles. I have a substantial collection of these type bottles that I was lucky enough to dig a few years ago. Tigue’s estimate is pretty close depending on condition and color. (hence the need for pic’s) I have bought from American Bottles, and GlassWorks with nothing but praise. I have heard Heckler’s was every bit as good to work with. I have never sold a bottle at these auction houses. Ebay is an unstable market for higher end bottles but you don’t have the 12-15% sellers fee either. I would be interested in it myself except the way you describe it, I believe I have one very close to it. Hope this helps and I would love to see a few pic’s. Kelley

Hey Thanks alot guys,You know, I tried to put a picture on a couple times now and it keeps telling me file is too large. Any suggestions there?I have posted pictures in the past with no problem,i'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or is it the pictures?I will try again if you guys are still interested.

If you have a photo editing program, go there, bring the pic up and reduce the image size to around 500. Then it should post with no problems. Kelley
