New Bunker hill added to my collection

[NHkeith]

I got this aqua colored Skilton Foote Bunker HIll boston pickle bottles. its shaped like a light house.
This comes from the Kristopher Kernozicky collection. Its a repaired bottle by Kris, the top/neck was re-attached. I got a good deal and it displays nicely.

Here is a group shot of my Bunker Hill Pickle bottles

Nice addition, that dude was the KING of repaired bottles...

That is what I was told by a few people who bought stuff from him over the years.

One of the people who owned this bottle before me had sold it for 500$ not knowing it was repaired and had the buyer come back and not being happy about the purchase. so I ended getting it. I know its repaired. It is what it is. I am going to keep it. and if I do decide to sell it I will tell potential buyers up front. if you use an eye piece and really look at where the top and neck meet you can see some epoxy.

I appreciate all the time he took to fix/repair the bottles for display, it must have taken a long time. I know many of his Saratogas had repairs, they were sold by Norman Heckler and described as such, but a few scumbags who bought some of the lots cheap threw them on Ebay, when they got called out about it online they said they didn't know. Which everyone knows is totally BS, they were clearly listed as repaired, the scumbags always try to take advantage....[:-]

Did you see the one that sold on ebay last week (over 1400$), it was mint in citron / yellow/olive (as described in the listing)
hecklers sold one a year or so ago for 1600ish.. they are collectible and scarce..
