Ogden's Mineral Water

Here's a beauty of a mineral water I just picked up. It reads JOHN OGDEN'S MINERAL WATER PITTSBURG and has a fancy O on the back. It is iron pontiled and in perfect shape except for some lip damage. Anybody know of this one and have info and possible value? Thanks in advance!

Hey bhofcc,

There's a nice one. You may be able to fill in the blank, over here: DETAILS. I think that 'S makes a difference on the rarity/value scale from looking over the field: The American Pontiled Soda Database Project

Count me amongst those that would like to see natural light photos…

I understand about the photos, just wanted to get it on here as soon as possible. If that says $800 like I'm seeing I really scored because I got it on ebay for $35. I can't see the worthpoint because I'm not a member. I'll get good photos as soon as I can. Thanks surf!

Bhofcc, nice early blob. She's a beauty. How's your cabin fever holding up?

Hey surf I'm not sure if we're looking at the same auction result but the one I found had a final bid of $50. I don't think either two of the lot were my exact bottle though. That ad is neat and thanks for the info. Bass, cabin fever's been terrible these days with a few scouting missions, but with temperatures so cold (in the single digits yesterday and today), ebay has been my way to get my bottle fix.

I kinda figured thats what you were doing. Its the complete opposite in my part of the country, now is the time of year for bottle hunting. I have some vacation in my back pocket that i plan to use late february or early march.

That was a bum link, bhofcc, sorry. You may be quite right. The unpictured lot had this text:

"497. (Lot of 2) “J. OGDEN’S / MINERAL WATER / PITTS - O”, and a “JOHN OGDEN & CO. / NO. 187 / FIRST STREET - CHAMPAIGN / CIDER / PITTSBURGH”, Pennsylvania, ca. 1840 - 1860, deep bluish aqua, 7 1/4” and 7 1/2”h, iron pontils, applied mouths. Both have been cleaned to their original luster but retains a number of ground imperfections.
Winning Bid: $ 50 (2 Bids)


Estimate: $ 100 - $ 150" Glass Works Auctions - Catalog Lots and Titles containing partial word: "mineral" - Glass Works Auctions

I think those bottles are a bit different, thanks for your help Surf.

You did ok on it, the one with the taper top is the better seller, in the $150-200 range...

 

[bottlehunterofcoscob]

I'm still happy, thanks for the update.

 

[bottlehunterofcoscob]

I see Kovel's says the same value, about $150. Any idea on why the link Surf first posted said $800?

 

[bottlehunterofcoscob]

Surf's link says the color is black, too.

 

[epackage]

Bottleden values are all over the map, high and low, Kovels isn't a good guage either....

 

[RelicDude]

That's a beauty.
