I also got a Taylor and Co Eureka and San Francisco early graphite one just before the site was covered.
I'll have to send you a photo of it.

Wilkie, I'm new collecting and have a question for you. I have a Wilson Soda works seltzer bottle from Eureka California ( 1920s - 1930s ?) and am having a hard time finding any info regarding the history of the bottle/soda works. Would you happen to know any info about this bottle. Thanks

Welcome to the forum sketch, and to this wonderful addiction, er, hobby. I personally know nothing about seltzer bottles so I can't help you out, but there are many people on this forum and I'm sure someone here can. If you don't get a reply by tomorrow I'd re-post your question and picture with a new thread topic. It is a nice looking bottle.ORIGINAL: sketch

Hi Jamie, the Holden's G.A. hutch is actually a Sacramento, California soda bottle. The bottom is embossed Capital Soda Works/Sac. The G.A. stands for Ginger Ale (strange I know). The bottle dates from 1881-1883. It's a fairly common bottle out here.
The Holden's may be rated common, but try to dig a pile of them. Out of a hundred blob sodas, maybe 2 might be one of those. Owen Caseys are FAR more abundant, yet they command the best price. They are like the Bay Cities, many thousands of them dug, and a blue one gets over a hundred bucks. Shoot, even junker Billings draw more than a Holden's. Occasionally, we will throw Billings against a wall, but wouldn't THINK of doing that with a GA. Same goes with hutchies, rarity has nothing to with pricing. Bottles are as subjective as any other older collectable, possibly even more so.
