| | | VISALIA SODA WORKS. Hutchinson, tooled top. Here’s a hutch we have not seen before, and is listed in Markota as rare. Made between 1884-1920. Most likely, most of them were unembossed. Grades 9.7 | |
| $ 180 |
| | | JURGENS & PRICE BOTTLERS HELENA MONT. Tooled top hutch with mug base. We had this example cleaned and it appears much more presentable. A nice example of this Montana hutch. Grades 8.8. | |
| $ 120 |
| | | PEARSON BROS. BODIE. Applied top. Here is a gorgeous example of this highly desired gravitating stopper style hutch. A nice light blue, this was found in a creek bed by a little girl who was fishing with her father. Fifty years later, it is now appearing in our auction. There is a quarter inch flake off the base, which barely creeps up to the side. It is unnoticeable when sitting on a shelf. The photograph accompanied the bottle and we believe it is the consignor with her siblings standing on the front porch of the Bodie church. With original stopper, this is one of the most desirable hutches in the hobby today. Grades 9.9 without the flake. | |
| $ 850 |
| | | EXCELSIOR SODA & MINERAL WATER FACTORY. Applied top. WE'VE ADDED A NEW PICTUE TO THIS LOT AS WE FOUND A FLAW IN THE MOUTH. PLEASE LOOK BEFORE BIDDING.

| $ 1,400 |
| | | MCFARLAND PHILADA/REGISTERED ACCORDING TO LAW on reverse. Applied top and iron pontil. Not only is this example a superb blue green color, the condition is about as good as it gets with these early sodas. Maybe not the rarest, but you can’t beat the overall color and crudity. All graphite intact. Grades 9.8. | |
| $ 200 |
| | | J. LAKE. SCHENECTADY NY. Applied top and graphite pontil. Another beautiful soda in a bit of a ten-pin shape this has some light highpoint wear but all iron is intact. Lots of whittle, you’ll be glad you bid on this one. A beautiful and brilliant blue. Grades a 9.4+. | |

| | | M.A. RUE CRANBURY N.J. Applied top and iron pontil. Here’s a scarce teal green soda that has some light wear but very presentable. Really, very little highpoint wear on the embossing. Grades a 9.2. We mistook the ""C," for a "G." Please forgive for that one. So many sodas. We understand Cranbury is a nice little town near Highstown, NJ. Thank you Bob! | |

| | | IRA HARVEY PROVIDENCE R.I. 7 3/8" high and 2 3/4" diameter. Applied tapered top with open pontil. THIS BOTTLE HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED. This bottle was found by the Postmaster General of Plymouth Mass in 1920 in Wareham, Mass. The bottle was then purchased by Joe around 40 years ago from the same gentleman. We've heard conflicting stories on how many are in existence, everything from this one, to possibly a few. It's very hard to know e.g. nobody was aware of this example. We are aware of a couple of these selling at auction, one in 1992 and another in 2007. We don't know if they were the same bottle but we do know they weren't this one. We do know the condition is perfect and although we were asked if it had been cleaned, we leaned towards it possibly being cleaned but really couldn't tell. At the Reno Bottle Show this weekend it was confirmed by a long time expert that he felt it had not been cleaned. At any rate, it may be some time before you have another shot at one, especially in this condition. Loads of whittle, great open pontil. Here is one that has the color, crudity, and rarity. Grades a 9.7. Joe Wood collection. | |
| $ 14,000 |
| | | PACIFIC CONGRESS WATER SPRINGS SARATOGA CALIFORNIA with running deer. SAGES PACIFIC CONGRESS SPRINGS on reverse. Applied top, smooth base.

This one is perfect, as these bottles are notorious for having icepick lip chips. Here’s a grade 9.7+ example. | |
| $ 4,200 |
