Racine Blob Top Beer....Anyoen know what it's worth?

[DaddyDaughterDiggers]

Here is an H.C. Olsen Racine, WI Blob Top Beer. I can't find any of these that have recently sold. I have history on it just don't know the rarity or worth. Any help would be much appreciated.

It is a rare bottle. My guess is that the value is pretty good. With some competetive bidding at an auction site, I'd guess somewhere from $20-50. Congrats!

Last one to sell on Ebay sold for $103 in 2008, nice find...

Thanks Bob appreciate the info. Hey since you are the hutch guy can I ask you how much that H.W. Lingsweiler would be worth. It is the clear one and has QC on the Base.

Thanks again epackage always can count on a response from you. There must have been a few collectors having it out over this bottle that sold in 2008.

The Lingsweiler hutch is at least as good as that beer. Even with the damage, it's still probably worth something if its whole. Minty, I'd guess at least $40-50.

You guys are finding some decent glass. My guess is that most of what I find is common (90-95%). To get a couple of rare bottles a year is doing great. And you're getting loads of them. It really is impressive.

Great. Thank you very much. Ohh and our friend is from the Milwaukee bottle club and yes he does go to the Bottle show in February. He is an avid Racine and Kenosha Collector.

Hi Daddy Daughter,

We have a killer antique bottle site in Wisconsin. mrbottles.com

Also a pretty key member of the Milwaukee Antique Bottle Club is a guy named Barna. He is a major Racine/Kenosha Wisconsin collector.

If you want to be put in touch with him email me at steve@mrbottles.com and I will connect you.

He pays top dollar for everything from the area and if they are keepers he will tell you exactly what they are including history and value.

Steven
