Nice bottle!

Since it's not embossed or anything it mostly comes down to the characteristics of the glass and where the bottle was potentially made. This bottle has nice clarity, it looks to be free from damage, and the citrine kind of colour is less common than your typical olive green and amber hues. Some glass is easy to identify just by the colour and character of the glass itself, even if it doesn't have embossing (Stoddard for example). Someone might recognize where this was made just by what we can see here, and they might pounce on it to add it to some specific collection (a lot of people who collect western whiskies and other bottles seek colours pretty similar to this).

Someone might only want to throw 5 dollars at this, and someone might be willing to throw 50 dollars at this, and it all depends on what they're after and if they can identify what it is that they are buying, and how badly they want it! 'Hope that helps.
 

hey thank you guys I appreciate this so stuck it on there fea bay starting at $25.00 we'll see what happens
 

yes, I agree with Mr Pristis i dig quit a few of this three part mold whiskeys in all deferent shades of green and amber .un embossed, not much interest .
 

Sorry vaquero44, but I too might only spend a few Canadian dollars on this bottle if I happened to see it at the flea market or something. But remember, eBay is such a massive market, and not everyone who likes bottles is a digger, or pulling out three-piece whiskeys all the time, so you have a way better chance of getting some money for this bottle than we might be leading you to believe, so keep your head up! Some film student might want this to use as a prop for a movie set in the West, or maybe someone out there would like to use it for a flower vase or some kind of decor. You never know, there are so many possibilities...
 

yeah its kind of nuts but I looked at the sold listings of this style bottle and there was one almost just like it went for $60.00 so you know you never can tell
 

Oh yeah, I often wonder who these people are that just drop $100 on a Castoria or Bromo-Seltzer, so weird. So just wait and see what happens with your bottle, and if it doesn't work out, than you can lower your price or keep the bottle if you enjoy it.
