[Julienbrown]

this is a greenish colored bottle that reads: DR C.E. WELCHS CELEBRATED UNFERMENTED WINE VINELAND N.J.
features:
originated from the U.S
it has a few scratches on the outside of the bottle
lots of tiny bubbles in the glass
the top is slightly slanted
seam ends at the neck of bottle indicating that it was added separately

looking to see how much it is worth

According to this it's a pretty common bottle so value is low... https://www.antique-bottles.net/showthread.php?516869-Dr-Welchs-wine

Common or not I've never seen one, not that my lack of knowledge means much, and it looks great! Superb save, a portion of history many have never seen..............6bkpkr

I noticed that the bottle at the top of the page you linked is not the same as mine but if you go down the page there is a picture of the exact bottle that I have and the man says that its pretty rare and says "I sold one years ago to one of the last descendants of the Welch family"

Good, I was wrong. Seems I misread it yesterday. I was thinking the earlier ones had a "church" embossment on it for some reason. But I see that was wrong.

i tried contacting the dude from that post to see how much he sold it for but that post is from 5 years ago so I doubt he will respond

Still a very nice bottle.

 

[Julienbrown]

I completely agree with that
