Sorry. Latest price guide I have is 1998, which was before Volume 2 came out. HA2 is in Volume 2.

I'm not sure it matters really, it's a price "guide" and I think about 15 years old to boot. I've never seen a price guide that's TRULY reliable but MAY help with rarity.MHO

Whats the rarity?

In Volume 2 it says rarity 2 (out of 5). But it also gives the value back then as $150. Not sure how the value is calculated, because one of the High Point, NC bottles is a rarity 3 and valued at $60, and another is rarity 2 and valued at $40.

Really? I thought all peanut bottles were valued at atleast $100 in the ayers guide? Of course I know that doesn't mean that's what you would get if you sold one. Usually they sell for about half.

Oh. Those Carolina bottles aren't peanuts. Am I comparing apples and oranges? Florida has no peanut bottles, so I've never paid attention.

What's weird is the "no name" bottle is rarity 3-4 but is worth $100, but the Harrisburg bottle is rarity2 and is worth $150??

I'm guessing Ayers researched how long each plant was in operation and how long that bottler used that particular bottle. By knowing that, you could determine how rare a bottle is. The no name bottle is probably a general guess.
