Washington figurine bottle

[rhommot]

I was wondering if someone could help me with this bottle. It is a figurine of President Washington. It is a clear glasss bottle with the word "WASHINGTON" at the base, and the bottom says "Design Pat. applied for 5". I bought it at a tag sale yesterday for 50 cents, and hoping it was a bargain. Thank you.

Not sure what you have...sounds like a modern bottle. Either way, 50 cents is a deal for any bottle you like. Can you post a pic? That would help a lot.

I was at an estate sale this morning and they had 2 of that exact bottle. I told them I didn't collect that type but I'd estimate they are worth about $5. - $10. each, and call me to see the soda bottles they still have in the attic.
How odd that it came up on here the same day.
