Help on value for Jackson's Napa Soda

[harryr1961]

Thanks! I saw one embossed Vallejo that went for 700$ on American Bottle Auctions. I knew I couldn't be that lucky! Here are some more from that dig. From L-R, Enterprise Soda Works, S.F., California Soda Works-Eagle, San Francisco Soda Works, Pioneer Soda Works, W in shield, Pioneer Soda Works, shield, Standard Soda Works S.F., and E.G. Lyons & Co. Ess. Jamaica Ginger, S. F. I'll part with any one of them for a fair price!Counting from left, 3 and 5 have some lip damage-chipping. The Jamaica Ginger is perfect. Happy Hunting!

David, your Napa Soda is post-1900, likely 1900-06. It is the last mold type for the Jackson blob soda. Embossed, tooled Crowns followed. The earliest, like Lordbud's dates from 1875-84. A very similar, but more neatly embossed was used from 1885-1899. All are quite common and none bring more than 20-25 bucks unless colored Green and blue examples command $$$. Phil Caduc was an agent for Jackson in Sacramento from 1973 to 1881. His bottles are also very common despite being nearly 30 yrs older.

Are there any bonus $$$ for amber/green swirls or are these bottles just universally detested?

[] Actually there are some collectors that do like those swirly bottles, and yours is nice, there was an article on swirly glass on the western bitters news site awhile back......

. Values for similar in Kovels run 175.00 up to 800.00.[/IMG]

One should never trust Kovels for bottle values.

The Kovels have never taken info from Western diggers and collectors to heart, instead preferring to march to their own drum beats. Their "prices" are totally whacked and not to be taken seriously.

trccscott, your example is an earlier variant, but there is no $$$ for any Jackson's, except maybe cobalt blue or deep green. More like $$ is reality.

As common as they generally are, after digging in Cal for 40 years this is the only one I ever dug whole. Came from a 90's pit with unusual mineral water lip. Found an obscure listing from Kovells in the 70's for $50. Figure time caught up to their price by now, I would hope!
