What do you consider a Staggering offer? Curious? LEON.

It was about $200. for a bottle that I pulled out of the dirt at the edge of a field. To me, then, it was a nice amount of money for a soda bottle; considering I saw soda bottles go for $5. & $10. at Renningers Antique Market.

For an Eastern crown top, that is pretty staggering money, even for a rare bottle.

I'm sure the condition played a role. It was in superb condition. The mold blemishes & all the bubbles in the glass set it off. Like I said, not even a flea bite on the glass. God only knows how long it sat buried on the edge of that field. Just the neck was protruding from the dirt.

Amazing that it escaped the plow.

Yeah, That's what I was thinking. LEON.

I never thought for a moment, it was worth the offer. I should have sold it. Now it's long gone, and no money. A lesson thoroughy learned. Too often people find a collectible, and they believe they hit the lottery. Now a very nice old bottle is in the wind, and not in a collection; and no money in my pocket.
