Nice bottle did you dig it? Is it amber or puce?

Looks like a pint, maybe $200-250 in that condition, could be higher to someone looking to add this variant...

Very sick and scratchy sorry to say. Not too rare. If attic wet shiny, maybe two beans.

Show a pic vertical, in good daylight, thru a window, get close and fill the frame entirely with the bot and make sure all dirt is off inside and out. Is the lip chipped or cracked? I'll ask around, try to get some good numbers at the Rochester show, I am not trying to throw epackage under the bus, it might be rarer than I think. But its so sick and swirled and eaten and scratched and all banged up from being wet and frozen and grinded up in the dump for over a century of freeze/thaw cycles that it gets very low rating on condition (unless chipped or cracked which brings it lower). Its entirely collectable and still valuable, and would be much improved with a good professional polish job, even with heavy scratching or a bit of chipping. Its a great bottle I would be very happy to dig one, even if not pristine.

Syracuse Springs pint

Thank you for your post. I will get better pics. I was diggig nails next to it when I found this. I got lucky and didn't break it with the shovel. No chips, I think it was a full bottle and the cork rotted out maybe it still has the seal on the lip. Would that make it worth more with the seal on it?

Yes I dug it

That bottle came with a regular cork in it as a stopper, nothing...

Just got home from rochester ny show and talked to a dealer with a good selection of minerals, hawethornes and saratogas and a nice teal massena and others but no Syracuse, he recently sold one same size and color and says 250 is a good price in excellent condition. I notice a lot of minerals and sodas are polished, rarely is any trace of sickness seen in these at the shows. The minerals are good candidates for the polisher guy because they are robust, and round, and always sick as a dog after the recovery. If I dug that, it would be off to the polisher guy for certain.

epackage nice work on that. By the way I had my eye out for a McCormick green smelling salt like ours, or even a stopper for one. No luck.
