I bought this over the past winter and can't find any info on it.
Looks like Kovel's online catalog has it listed but I can't access it.
The value as well as any historic info much appreciated. RJ

EBAY has the last sales record I can find. I have know idea who he was or history but it must be out there.

Been a mystery to me this bottle.

Very pleasant to the eye that's for sure. I can see why you purchased it

That's a local soda for me. I've dug several over the years. The iron pontil examples are
significantly more valuable. if you are looking for a value, it's kinda hard to tell in
the environment today. your example looks as though someone let the tumbler
run a day or two too long. my guess would be $175 - $250 depending on how
many bidders you get. Hoffman was a fairly prolific bottler in Allentown in the mid
to late 1800's. I was only getting $40.00 for the smooth based double taper top green Hoffman sodas.

looks good on the shelf!

Thanks a lot Jim.
So it is just as the seller (a good friend) told me, its not rare, even though little info exists online.
I paid $75.00, so I'm pleased.
