Vaughn's Vegetable Lithontriptic Mixture-Buffalo

[benbriggs]

My wifes grandmother has had this bottle forever, I have always admired it and she just recently told me it should be in my collection! I have found quite a bit of info on the bottle, there's one on Ebay asking $250. I found another site where one was sold, a really mint one for $400. I'm not looking to sell it just wanted some feedback and comments from all you bottle experts. I have been a forum member for years and always get great help with my questions! I expected to see some type of pontil mark on this bottle, it definitely wasn't made in a mold, it's very crude, lots of nice air bubble and imperfections. I was disappointed to see that it does have an internal crack inside the glass on the Vaughn's side top corner section of the bottle above the words Vaughns, but non the less, I love this bottle. I am curious what anyone may think a value might be, just out of curiosity. Here's some pictures of the bottle and a few other she gave me as well.

I guess everybody's busy watching the Super Bowl and they forgot about you so I'll chime in. I like it it's really neat how about a close-up of the bottom ? As for value the cracks going to bring it down a lot depending on the rarity of course. Just a swag (Scientific wild ass guess) between 50 and 100. Again rarity would figure into that a whole lot. Could be more .Nice to get stuff from family!!!!!! Mitch

it definitely wasn't made in a mold,

Yes it was, had to be. I'm guessing that's a typo.They can go $500 at the right time but it depends on condition of coarse and color depth and whether it's open pontil. iron pontil or smooth base.A smooth base aqua with a shallow lip flake sold recently for about $70 on ebay.Nice bottles though.
