Fowlers Cherry Smash

I picked this up at a yards sale last week for $3. A local bottle guy said it is worth $100-$150. I am a bottle dummy! Can anyone here give me an approximate age or any other information? How do ya'll take pictures that would be ebay worthy? Thanks

All I can tell you that it's a syrup jug for a soda fountain. Machine-made and dates probably to the 1920s. Don't know what's it's worth, but it's a good score for 5 bucks for sure. Most syrup jugs were paper labeled, so I would think yours would be more desirable than the more common big names like Coke, etc.

I have two Coke syrup bottles. Darn mice shredded the labels in a garage.

Nice bottle! Sandchip is correct in that it's a soda fountain syrup jug, and a great score for $3. Here's a little write up with some interesting history on the founder of the company. Scroll down a little after the article for a couple of nice pics of a Fowlers syrup dispenser and an advertisement.
