Old Sachem Bitters and Wigwam Tonic bottle
I have an Old Sachem Bitters and Wigwam Tonic bottle that I would like to know the value of. It is in VNM condition with only the tiniest flake on the under base of the bottle. It is a dark amber brown color with 10 rings above and below the embossing. I have seen pricings high and low and would like to determine a realistic value of the bottle, please help.

Thanks for posting this.
The chip does hurt the value. Your best comp at the moment would be this closed eBay auction:

This one has a lip chip and sold for a little over $100.
Damaged bottles are not always the easiest things to sell unless they are true rarities. I know this would be a tough item to sell at a show unless I really cut the price.
A realistic range of value would be $75-125, even a bit less if you wanted to quickly move it at a show.
