I too have struck out regarding information and pricing for this
bottle, as I own one that appears to be practically identical to yours.
However, it may interest you to know that while your bottle was clear,
mine is decidedly amber in color. Mine came sans cork and contents,
and has quite a few seed bubbles scattered throughout. Mine also has
stylized initials ( the letters JC entwined) above the name John
Carbutt.
If it is any help, I paid 8 bucks for mine.
Take care,
