I can't find much information on this John Kepler Hutch bottle and what it's worth.

I found this bottle in upstate NY and found little info on it. It's an error blob top soda bottle that has John Kepler Alexander Bay N.Y. It is supposed to say Alexandria Bay N.Y. Instead. I was wondering if anyone has the history behind this bottle and what it could be worth to a collector?

Now the next question is how long was the thousand islands steam bottling in operation and how would I value the bottle?

With Hutches and crown tops, the smaller the town, the better, and of course how rare it is. The interest will come mainly from local, then NY state collectors. From there, interest drops drastically. Show it to other collectors at the next bottle show in NY state and you'll get a pretty good idea, short of throwing it on ebay and seeing what happens. Otherwise, I'd just enjoy the bottle. Cool place name.

Throw it on Ebay at .99 cents, have a ridiculous reserve and you'll get a decent feel for what people are willing to pay for it, nice hutch...
