I wouldlike to have any and all information on this bottle, please. It is a P.E. Iler American Life Bitters bottle in the shape of a cabin. I've had offers to have it placed in auctions but am afraid to mail it off anywhere! It is safely stored in a bank safety deposit box! I've had it for about 45 years. I found it as a child in an old abandonded minning camp. I've never seen one like it, not from Omaha Neb. I'm not sure what to do with it, how to display it or exactly how to take pictures of it so you can see the bottle in proper lighting. It is a dark amber color and measures as seen in the picture. No chips or cracks! I like old bottles and have quite a few, I'm just not knowledgeable enough to know what to tell you about it! I've looked through the Ebay bottles for sale and can't find one like this one! Where do I look for more information? How can I find the value of this bottle? If I do decide to sell it what are my best options? How should it be advertised? thanks for any help you may have to offer!!

-- If the link above works, there is information on your bottle - the Omaha, Nebraska one seems to be exrtremely rare.
This is a GREAT Bitters bottle ! It is about time someone has finally posted a real bottle in C.W. This bottle is in the Twenty Thousand dollar league or more. The best thing to do is not to rush into selling it. You might want to check with some of the big antique bottle auction houses. You will have to Google them and find out what is best for you. There is a lot of info I can give but not here on C.W. The best of luck from.... Sizzler & Sizzle
