I was surprised to see the Harrisons on Ebay, I hadn't seen one for sale for a long time. I'm guessing they saw mine posted, and wanted to get their's 'on the market" before I got mine out there. Will be interesting to see how it goes.
Someone on Ebay asked if it was the same bottle that someone just found diving :]

I will sell mine when I find a good buyer. I'd rather they see it in person, because the condition looks better in person than when you try to describe it on paper, which is always the case. I brought it to the bottle show in Lowell Mass last Sunday, and found an empty parking lot. I read the date wrong, it is this Sunday :{

I still need to clean it up better. I still can't believe it was whole. Can't help but feel there are still many great bottles out there to be found. Next I'm going after one of those Jared Spencer flasks that Heckler has in his latest catalog. What are the chances that there is one of those laying down at the bottom of a lake somewhere, or in a dump lol.

Found a little pontiled Spaldings bottle from Boston yesterday, I'll post that in my next post. Keep hunting

I can't believe that, I hope you found something to do to make the trip worthwhile. I thought about saying something after your post but thought you just mistyped.
I'm sorry.[:mad:][:eek:][8|][:'(]

There is a gallon size Harrisons posted on Ebay, with an opening bid of $3000.00...[8|]
ORIGINAL: andy volkerts

[;)] True but they both are not the gallon size, the bottle that homers beer party is selling is not the gallon size

Looks like you ended up pretty good Bram. I would have thought a bit less with the condition of it.
Maybe the "unique provenance" thing helped.
