Help with some Estate Sale Bottles

[Hogtown Hunter]

There is an estate sale going on later this week and I saw some bottles that I can't seem to find online or I'm only seeing one for sale. I'm new to this and was hoping I could get your opinions.
The Dispenza Hutchinson bottle I can't seem to find any prices online. The Hutch book has it as Scarce if I'm reading it right.
The J. Mullins I found one for sale for about $90. It's hard to get an average price when there is only one example. The John White Chemist is at $100 in the only one for sale. Must be pretty rare if medicine bottle is that much? And the blob top soda bottle says "Never Sold". I can't seem to find that one either. I see some " Not to be Sold". Is that a reproduction?
Which ones do you find interesting? If any? Thanks.
They also have some stoneware. I'm thinking I may try and do a bundle deal on two or three?

These images have me salivating at the thought of purchasing such nice artifacts for cheap. As per your query regarding the "Never Sold" and "Not to be Sold" embossing on the old bottles. These phrases were typically written on most glass beer/soda bottles from the later half of 19th to turn of the 20th century. It was simply to prevent bottle piracy as bottles were much more expensive to manufacture back then and were supposed to be returned to the company that owned them so they could be refilled and their contents sold again. People bought the contents of the bottle after all, not the bottle itself. I can't help with values as that's out of my line of knowledge. I would buy everything if it was cheap enough though, especially that jug - just tell them that the chip on the lip makes it essentially worthless and offer them a $1 for it. Good luck

Thanks for the info UnderMiner.
The couple of sales I've bought from usually have bottles priced about average cost but if it's a 3 day sale things are 50% off at most sales on the last day. The two toned ginger beers look to be priced at $25. I'll buy them at $12.50.

I didn't see anything to impressive. common Hutchs usually sell for $10-$20 range. Rarer ones can get over $100 easily. I doubt that White Medicine is a $100 Bottle. Probably more like $5 but I don't know anything about it so unless super rare & desirable could be a $100 bottle but highly unlikely. The this not to be sold bottle looked like a Blank Slug plate making it not very desirable & not very Valuable maybe in the $5 to $10 range. The Stoneware Ginger Beers look to be the common European Variety worth maybe $10 each. All just my opinion, others may vary. LEON.

Thanks hemihampton. I'll have some idea now what I should pay or just walk away.
The Mullins Hutch in aqua is listed as rare but the clear one that is for sale the Hutch book has just a dash. Does that mean they don't have enough info on that bottle to rate it? Also the Dispenza bottle is rated as Scarce. What value is that about? Thanks.

Here is clear Mullins hutch

 

[hemihampton]

This is just my Guestimate, a Hutch rated common $5-25. rated as Scarce maybe $25-75. rated as Rare maybe $75-$100+. But just my amateur guess & opinion. In reality those Guestimates don't mean much because really it depends on how bad somebody wants something & how much they willing to pay to get what they want. If dealing with ebay, ebay is totally unpredictable. you might see a Hutch on ebay get $100 & then next week same or similar Hutch gets $10 & vica versa. LEON.

P.S. I'm pretty sure the dash in hutchbook just means they don't have enough info on it to give it a rating. A hutch expert in that particular State would have to chime in, I specialize more in Michigan Hutchs.

Hi Hogtown Hunter,

Hemi Hampton is spot on. I'll just add that whiskey/water pourer is pretty common in my neck of the woods. If you find one without lip damage you would be in the $35-$40. neighborhood. Most have worse damage from what I can see in your pic but an informed seller might let it go for about $20. Good luck!
