F.H. Heckings Mineral Water Photo's

[Big Ralph]

Hi,
This is the first time I am going to try to post pics here. Hope it works. This is the F.H. Heckings Mineral Water New York bottle. It is a really dark green in color. It looks black until you hold it up to the sun. Super condition. It holds about a pint and stands 8 1/4 inches tall. Any blems seen in the photo's are from water inside, flashes from the camera, or air bubbles in the glass. Maybe with the pics someone out there can help me find a price on this thing. I can find nothing.

Thanks,
Big Ralph

Well now Big Ralph, your chest must be a bit bigger with swelling in pride of that one. NICE BOTTLE ! ! !

With no where else to look, I perused my 1996 copy of the Auction Price Report and found no listing for your bottle. That must mean it's at least scarce, probably rare. It appears to be a 1860s bottle and would be VERY desireable. There are those around who specialize in Mineral Water bottles so in time you should be able to pin down it's rarity and value.

Congratulations.

Hello and Thanks for showing us your Mineral Water Bottle. I like it, because I don't have one maybe. I will see what I can find out about it. RED Matthews
