Which Sagwa older?

[amblypygi]

I found a Healy & Bigelow's Indian Sagwa yesterday that has a more detailed face than the others I've seen and I was wondering if my guess is correct that this is the older variant of the two shown here (it's the one that's still dirty). Also, my recollection is that these are common bottles worth about 10 bucks; is this true of all the variants?

I have dug the newer style once but never seen the one on the left before. Big difference in the embossing. Nice

Thanks Lobey for the info. I wish I could bring myself to sell stuff, but I really see my collection as a reference work, and selling off pieces would seem like tearing out pages from a book, you know? I usually only sell stuff if it's an exact match for what I already have. Whenever I go against that I regret it... []

Thanks again for all the help! Here it is after a long date with some Comet and an old toothbrush []

What were these bottles used for? Medicine or bitters?

Thanks for the info! My 8 year old got a kick out of Kickapoo - you can imagine where his mind went!

Hey I'd pay $10 for one any day.
There most likely isnt much difference in age between the two but i like the left one more. It has a nicer mold.
