Strap sided flasks are rare from most southern states. Add an anchor the the reverse and the "wow factor" go way up. I am the proud owner of an aqua quart size strap sided flask embossed ROGERS, MARTYN & COMPANY/ ORLANDO, FLA. It is embossed using a round slug plate and has an applied top...
Not exactly an answer to original question but the most expensive two bottles (one is a jug) I have in my collection is; (1) the bottle is olive shaded green like a lot of Saratoga type bottles and the same shape. What makes this bottle different and extremely rare is the embossing, it is...
In the 1880’s Hutchinson stopper bottles were offered to interested bottlers as a sales promotion for free or a nominal charge. In that respect these are sample bottles and made by several different glass companies. These bottles are not as common as a lot of embossed hutches but not rare in my...

I am looking for an example of the William Hudson English Codd bottle. I have two variants of the American made Codd but recently found out there is also an embossed English made variant. I am also looking for a James McHugh lightning stopper and a Rauch and Pfieffer gravitating stopper...

El Capitan,
What is a fair price for a WILLIAM HUDSON/PENSACOLA, FLa. aqua, tall lightning stopper in near mint condition sell for these days? Do you have a RAUSCH & PFEIFFER/PENSACOLA, FLA. gravitating stopper for sale?
I collect patented stopper soda water bottles from Florida. I found a really nice WILLIAM HUDSON/PENSACOLA, FLA. aqua, tall lightning stopper. On the reverse is is embossed THIS BOTTLE TO BE RETURNED. I have seen one, maybe two of these but don't know if the price he is asking is reasonable...
