Very old George Eagle soda

A friend of mine, Florence Sherman has breast cancer. She's a very, very fine woman. There's a benefit for her on Saturday, March 5, at Saluto's Pub in Hudson Falls, NY. Additional info about the benefit is available on Facebook. So ladies and gentlemen, therein lies the real reason...

Okay I don't really sleep with this, but it's a George Eagle soda from the mid 1800s.

Very old George Eagle soda

I have a question: I have an old George Eagle soda and I've been told it's extremely rare. It's in very, very fine condition. I was here last year and thought of selling it. I was advised to contact the major auction houses. Well I did but I was nervous about sending it off and only...

New kid with an old George Eagle Soda

surfaceone, Thanks for the additional info. I've done all the research I can on this thing. I did see where a COBALT of the same bottle went for a whole lot of money at auction. Mine is obviously not a cobalt and that leads me to my question of the day: Regarding the exact color, in all...

epackage is correct. It's not the same bottle. (Gasp!) Mea culpa, apologies and all that... I composed a rather long email this morning in answer to epackage's observation / question. Unfortuneately I think I sent that email directly to his mailbox. So here we go again: At the time I found...

Now that I think of it, any pic I take would have to have some kind of background. And that first one is just plain white, so again, that's not my pic... Here's John, Paul and George Eagle:

New kid with an old George Eagle Soda

surfaceone, Hi. Regarding 100% button, it's at the bottom right corner and it's not part of ABN as such I don't think. I think of the basic setup on the computer, at least it is with Explorer. There's an icon of a little magnifying glass along the bottom gray strip and just to the right of...

RE: Here's a shot of a rather small clear bottle with a paper label. It's 5 inches long and approximately 1.75 in width. The only thing on the label that is legible is the red lettering at the bottom: "R.C. Williams & Co." and "New York" in black print under the red lettering. I've learned...

Anyone have any info on this thing?

Jim, Thanks for the message. Actually I have seen that auction lot before from Googling like a mad man for info on my bottle. The fact that mine has none of those defects should be a good thing I would think. If you think I should avoid Ebay then I will. I've never even sold anything...

About my bottle, I'd like to ask a question: Am I wrong to assume that the reason I can't find much info on this thing is because there aren't that many around ? It would seem logical and obviously I hope that's the case. Thanks.

Sodapopbob, If you Google "New York City Bottle Legacies" you'll come to an article which discusses most of what is known (and that ain't much) about Mr. George Eagle. It's down towards the bottom of the page. You'll also see stenciled-like drawing of what I think looks just like the one I...

Here's another photo. This is the bottom, obviously. (That was a kind of a dumb to point out, wasn't it ?) Photos are taken with a Nokia cell phone so they're not as sharp as they could be. I showed the bottle off at a show in nearby Ballston Spa NY in June 2009. A few of the experts (I...
