R. Swinley Co. Paterson NJ

[medbotls]

What can anyone tell me about this one...common as dirt...scarce as hens' teeth...somwhere in between? The top doesn't look like a normal Hutch with that collar. Thanks in advance.

This top is on every Swinley bottle, there is one on e-bay now and they are asking $39.99 for it which it most likely won't sell for. It's a pretty common bottle in this area and Paterson collector's see them often, should sell on e-bay for between $10-20 to a newer collector of Paterson bottles who needs it or someone with Swinley as a last name. Not many hutch's with that style lip for sure though....Jim

Is it clear or a light aqua color? ....Jim

Hey Andy,

Here's the listing "PATERSON 12-H- -NJ-L- -"SWINLEY, R & CO"(10-1/2") " at Soda & Beer Collector's Pad. Is it 10-1/2 inches tall? Could'ya take another photo of the top and finish?

Here's one that sold on e-bay.

Here's some ad copy:

I do know of someone who will probably like this guy, but probably already has it...

Thanx Surface, I do have it in aqua and a corflower blue so if this is a clear example I would be interested....

Thanks for the info...you guys are fast. Unfortunately, the botttle isn't clear, just a pale green-aqua...sorry Jim...and it's just shy of 7" tall. (By the way, I'm never sure whether to address you as epackage or Jim, and that goes for everyone here...is there an established etiquette?)

Surfaceone, here's a close-up of the top.

Jim is just fine, glad to help......I have 5 or 6 Swinley bottles total including a nice early seltzer, I love these because of the top....If you ever looking to get rid of it let me know and I may have something you collect for a trade, I can always use it in trades at our Club Meetings....Jim
