North Baltimore Bottling Glass Company...Any Help

[thefuller3]

So. I've seen these bottles listed before, well atleast the more common made ones. I can't seem to find any info on this company. Hutchbook.com has this bottle, Eagle Bottling Works Tacoma, WA NBBGCO bottle as scarce. I know the common ones go for $10-$40 topps, any idea of what a SCARCE one would be worth. The only thing interesting I can find about the company is that Chapman Root worked for them around the time he designed the Hobbleskirt Coke Bottle.

Depends on how many locals need one, the eagle sure as hell doesn't hurt the value, best of luck if you're looking to sell it...

Bad news maybe, this one didn't sell for the $19.99 starting price... Different maker but I don't see that making much difference personally.

Hey Fuller,
It is an attractive pictured hutch, so, I'm sure some collectors will want it. In terms of the glassmaker, many times that does not affect the value very much. Most collectors, for example couldn't care less if it was NBBCGo or ROOT. The main reason they want it is town, the bottler, and the picture. But, as noted, it is a neat bottle and it should be desirable.

Here's a weird story about a slight variant that I found. It was from a bottler that produced many many hutches. The author of the local bottle book noted that this company opened in 1905. This was supported by bottles that had hub dates of 1905 (and later). Then I found one with a hub date of 1904! I was so excited! I had changed the history book - just a bit- by showing that the company was in existence before they were thought to have opened. I took it to the author all excited and he told me basically to calm down, it was still a common hutch.

I think $1250.00 is pushing it a bit, especially with damage but you never know.

Hey thanks for all the input guys, I absolutley agree $1250 is pushing it...lol. I just didn't know the true value of it and was hoping maybe there was that one collector out there that would jump on it. It is for sale and I by no means expect to get that kind of money for it, if you or someone you may know wants it I will let it go at a much more reasonable rate. Thanks again for all thelp!!!
