Thought maybe the Jersey collectors would have some idea on rarity. My son has gotten the bug and bought a group of sodas and this was in it. There is no damage...it has a bubble / amber streak running above the slug plate. The bottom is unusually rounded. Not much found with my google search. Any information would be appreciated.

Looks like it must be fairly uncommon at a minimum as Ron does not have a photo of it. Do you mind if I send him these photos to add to the listing on www.hutchbook.com? I love these early hutch sodas.

No, I don't mind at all. I use the hutchbook site for reference quite often. As a matter of fact, it was the only tag that came up on a google search for the John O'Reilly bottle. I noticed Ron didn't give it a Common, Scarce or Rare rating...that's part of why I was inquiring about rarity.

John O'Reilly was a cider manufacturer and bottler for many years in Jersey City. However, he is only listed at that particular "dual" address for the years 1885-1887. In 1888 he disappears, only to reappear in 1889 at just the 329 address.

O'Reilly started out as a bottler and manufacturer of cider and cider vinegar at 275 Monmouth St. in 1875, he operated from 424 Mongomery St. for a number of years before settling in at 329-331 Newark Ave. in 1884. As you can see from this 1886 listing in the city directory he called the company the Excelsior Bottling Works, a popular name for bottlers and brewers back in that period.

He is either retired or dead in 1894 and no longer in business....

This particular embossing might be uncommon, but the state that it comes out of makes it common. It's in good shape and still could bring $20 on eBay at the high end.
