New find......

[BottleArchaeologist]

I have a soda bottle that is from about 1925 to 1935 or so. It is BLACK glass......and I mean BLACK!!!! I held it up to the sun and not an ounce of light showed through.

On the bottom is is embossed Mission Dry Sparkling. I know this held some sort of orange soda and had a paper label at one time.

Question........how desireable are these? I understand that this was one of the only black glass bottles produced in the US at this time.

Any idea on worth? It is perfect in all aspects.........just no label.

Regards,
BA
