I just saw this link on facebook. Keep this in mind when you see bottles in unusual colors;

I think it's a good idea for crafts, however, I can see "crafty" people trying to turn some common bottles into rarity's and selling them on eBay.

Jim,that said, seltzers do show up in exotic colors not seen in other bottles. They are for the most part were made in Eastern Europe and crazy yellows and blues are not unusual and most often the real deal. This does not translate into high values however, as they are for the most part modern. Do you have any examples?
