Any information on this bottle would be greatly appreciated! It is a bottle that stands about 11 1/2 inches tall. Thank you so much in advance and hopefully I can help some of you with questions on items in the future! Peace out.... : )

Thank you so much for the nice comments and post madman! It is greatly appreciated. Yeah I thought it may be rare as well because I am not able to find anything on it. What would you recommend as the best source for finding information/value for something like this? I obtained it from an individual that may indeed have found it in an area that was very wet or in a stream of some sort.

hmm havent lived in toledo for a while so i dont know whod youd talk too about value, there is a guy that collects sodas a beers from toledo, he owns the oliver house bar in toledo on broadway, id say 50 and with the ecomony up there 40 tops on the blob, the monroe mich hutch is another story, but who knows if ya find the right guy the skys the limit

Hi Blutch... I really like this bottle because it looks like the top is wayyyy too small, making it a "freak" in my book which I love.....jim

 

[Blutchtique]

Thanks epackage. It does have a kinda "freaky interesting" look.

Hey Blutch again,
To some collectors those aqua quart loop seal blobs are very valuable. But the bottler, city, condition, and rarity all factor into what they will go for.

 

[madman]

yes that bottle has a baltimore loop seal closure, as stated above by bob, that will help you to date it!
