Help on value for Jackson's Napa Soda

David Osborn · Sep 3, 2004

My fiancee' has a brother who used to manage a storage unit complex in California. He found this pre-1900 Napa Soda in an abandoned unit. Values for similar in Kovels run 175.00 up to 800.00. It does seems older than the stuff I'm finding in Nebraska. It does NOT have the word carbonated, something i saw on a newer looking bottle on eBay yesterday. Front face reads; Jackson's Napa Soda. Back reads; A Natural Mineral Water/ This bottle is never sold. Bottom reads 710H. Please help out, I need to know if its worth listing.

Of course I'm not any kind of expert, but I have three that look just like yours, & I found them to be worth about $15-20 to the right collector. That's what I was told by a collector who knows western sodas & mineral waters pretty well, and he didn't want mine. I also have a full case of early crown-top Napa Sodas, but they're not hard to find at all. I hope I'm wrong, and your Kovel's quote is right, because I kept the blobs...

For sure I'm going to watch this thread & find out. Good luck..

$2.00 to $5.00
#2) Jackson's Napa Soda light green applied lip 7 1/4 " & 7" round crown top
$2.00 to $4.00
#3) Jackson's Napa Soda Springs 7 1/2" round slender bottle with the name and place listed in the middle
$6.00 to $8.00

none of those sound like mine. This is not a crown top. Lettering seems ancient compared to others i've seen and much older than the photos of the last Napa on eBay.

Here is one I dug in California. It appears to be different from the ones posted. Any ideas on the value?

I bought one off the bay last year, it went cheap, and I was informed it's pretty common, but the embossing is different on yours.. actually mine looks like the one at the beginning of this thread. In other words, I have no idea..[

Jackson's Napa Soda Springs Blob Top Bottle

Here is a blob top pretty similar that sold for $16. I don't think an aqua one would be worth much more than that. Cobalt, yes.

Very very common in California. The blob top examples in the style pictured at the beginning of the thread were made up at least until the TOC. If you could find a collector who wanted one I'd say $10 on a good day. Harry's and Jay's examples are somewhat older variants, Western blown and usually in the "fire aqua" glass color. Green or blue examples would bring a pretty nice price; aqua examples a modest $20 or so. IMO![

] Here is a picture of my example found in SF a while back.
