I bought a crate of bottle at auction today and this bottle is in the crate. I have looked and can't find anything about this bottle or this company. Does anyone have information about this bottle and does it have much value. I know that is an overused question but I am really new at this and would like to know the value of such items when I can't find examples to compare it to.

It is an applied top as far as I can tell. No seams and is pretty large at about 14" tall and 4 1/4" wide. The label has a label number and other info on the back.

That does appear to have some age and while the bottle is pretty generic the label adds significant value. I'm
going to guess it's value at $10 - $25 as I am not up on the amount of collector interest in such items.

I'd agree on the value, I'd guess more around the $20 mark than the $10 mark, but I don't know the value of American bottles all that well. I'm curious about the meaning of the printing on the back of the label. The current Sethness Chicago www.sethness.com/about/ makes caramel colour and says they've done the same for the past 135 years, I wonder if it was the same company and if so why they were importing Vichy water. And what does 75cts per 1000 mean? Surely not 75 cents for 1000 bottles, that can't be right.

Under that it reads... Less 10 percent in 5000 lots.

Maybe it refers to labeling price.
