John Ryan Pottery Bottle - 6/19/2006 7:35:33 PM    newtothebottleworld   Posts: 231 Joined: 9/20/2005 From: West Virginia Status: offline I just bought this bottle today.I was pretty happy about finding an american pottery bottle within my budget.I got home and looked up the name John Ryan and found that there are some pretty nice Ryan bottles out there,and some of them can get pretty expensive too.I was just wondering how this bottle ranked with the more scarce Ryan bottles.Is this a rare bottle or ? It measures about 6 1/2 inches tall and 2 3/4 inches wide.Any help would be appreciated. Attachment (1) < Message edited by newtothebottleworld -- 6/25/2006 6:55:05 PM > Post #: 1

Yours would be a root beer I would guess. Thats one of the more interesting crocks i've seen in a while. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to newtothebottleworld) Post #: 3

Great find. I'd do alot of research. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to newtothebottleworld) Post #: 5

I'd say that you have a rare one there ! And it would draw much interest if you sold it . Especially with local collectors. I will see if I can find out some info on your bottle from a friend of mine that is a Ryan collector . Nice find !  _____________________________ Tennessee Hillbilly Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !

I've never seen a John Ryan stoner before. I've seen a lot of the cobalt squats though and if I remember right they bring at least $75 or more depending on the variant. _____________________________ Life is easy with your eyes closed.

I take it from Russ's email reply your stoner is very rare !!! He deals with a lot of Ryans and Southern beer & Sodas and he had this to say about your bottle .  Brian, Nice to hear from you! Your Ryan crock is a nice one. It looks like the condition is very good. If so, it should bring around $1000.00. If it is in perfect condition it could do a little better depending on who needs one right now. Thanks Russ Hope this info helps you !  Brian _____________________________ Tennessee Hillbilly Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !

But , it might do better in one of the Auction Houses. I know quite a few collectors that won't buy on ebay .... because of bad experiences with sellers in the past. Which ever way you decide to sell it ..... good luck and nice find ! _____________________________ Tennessee Hillbilly Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !

RE: John Ryan Pottery Bottle - 6/20/2006 8:59:46 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5155 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline ebay is fine for selling ... as long as the seller has good feedback, you can post good photos, and you give a good guarantee. If you cant do all of those then probably better to go through a professional auction house. Just my opinion. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 15
