Emil T. Raddant shawano Wisconsin seltzer bottle

[pipebomb]

I picked this bottle up last summer and haven’t been able to find any information on it I found a few other beer bottles and hutch Bottles but not any seltzer bottles from Emil Raddant. The top is broken off. Any insight or information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Nice find! I can't offer any information in particular on the seltzer, you'd probably want to talk to local collectors for that one. A lot of bottlers had seltzer bottles back then and they're typically a lot rarer than the standard soda bottles, although it seems like the US collectors don't tend to have that much interest in seltzers for some reason.

They take up more space. Like jug collectors. Only so much room. They used to be more popular. Nowadays you can't give them away.

It's strange that the attitude seems so different between Canada and the US on seltzers, up here they're extremely collectible and the majority tend to sell in the three figure range. Do you not get as many fancy seltzers in interesting colours down there? Most of the ones I see posted are clear, that could be why there's less interest there. Up here we get them in blue, emerald green, peach, amber, and often in fancy textures and shapes as well.

I see lots going for 3 figures but single ones maybe $25-50. Here is a lotof 6 that sold recently.

Oh yeah we get those South American ones up here sometimes too, they aren't very collectible. I'd expect to see that sort of prices for them here too. Some of the newer ones with plastic tops from major cities (mostly Toronto) are pretty cheap as well and can be had for under $50. It's the local ones, especially the small town ones in nice colours, that are very desirable. We have a lot of seltzer bottles like this which the collectors are really after:
