That's a beauty! You could try the Bottle Museum. They are located right next to Saratoga Springs in Ballston Spa-

But note this sale was overseas. I'll bet a much better price could be obtained 'locally'.

most of the time common sizes are less valueable the smaller bottle probably sold for same price and you got less water so bigger bottle much more common

all things are worth "the lowest price" you will take for it or the most another will give for it -- once these two ends meet --thats what its worth right then , right there at that time * to the both of you --- now the question really should be --what should I try to charge for this item , when I try to sell it -- whats the going rate for this thing ?

remember "book" values are great --if you can find a "book" that buys stuff --other wize --they tend to be a bit high priced guides that dealers sell stuff by -- dealers do not buy at book --often ithey offer less , much less. -- private collectors often offer better prices but it can be a bear to find the "right" one --collector to bottle * --but thru modern means its a lot easier these days.

If you posted this in the Bottle section here at T-Net there are many experts that might be able to point you in the right direction on value other than the what is it section.
That is a very nice bottle for sure
