Bottling works harpers ferry 7 flu. ozs.soda bottle WV found to today!!!VALUE?
Hey guys found this while i was out today. its a GREAT and BEAUTIFUL BOTTLE! I looks much better in person, i could not get good pics of it, its clear and hard to get the emboss to show on a pic.
Unfortunately i cant find much info on it! Not a single on on eBay, and i cant even find on on the web.
But here's what i got so far The DATE of the bottle!
Charles Smith purchased the bottling operation in formed "harpers ferrry bottling works" in 1914- 1927. Of course in west Virgina!
I would say due to Harpers Ferrys LARGE well know history, this bottle has to be worth something, and if you add to the fact i can not find ANOTHER one or much info at all. I'm guessing it to be rare! I found out that "bottling works harpers ferry" is the company before "gateway" soda took over!
The bottle! READS!
Mid Top-"BOTTLING WKS HARPERS FERRY
NEAR THE BOTT0M- HARPERS FERRY W. VA. CONTENTS 7 FLU. OZS.
the EMBOSSING AND DESIGN ARE JUST COOL.
At THE MID SECTION OF THE NECK IT AS 4 SMALL DIMPLES ALONG THE BOTTLE!
WELL HOPE THE PICS HELP! ANDY INFO OR VALUE IDEA WOULD BE GREAT.

Has it occurred to you that there is no similar bottle on eBay because the bottle has little or no value? Sometimes, subscribers are silent because they don't want be the bearers of negative news.

Nice bottle, not sure on the value but I am in Virginia and have found 3 or 4 whole ones and a bunch of broken ones. I like them because they are local marked bottles..
