RHODE ISLAND BLOB TOP 5 BROS.

[glass man]

I got my bottle I won off ebites today! It is clear ,about 8 1/4 " high. Shiny mint with only a small skuff mark ,just to be very accurate. Embossed in a circle in a slug plate is "FIVE SULLAVAN BROTHERS PROV. R.I." .IN the circle is embossed : "TRADE 5 MARK Above the circle is embossed " REGISTERED". I looked some info. up and found the company called themselves 5 sullavan bros. in 1897 and closed in 1918. So I am guessing my bottle is around the 1897 period. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME THE RARITY AND PRICE RANGE OF THIS BOTTLE ? I hope to sell it or trade it in the near future .

Hi there, Glass Man! Youi've got a nice looking blob soda bottle. It's not very rare, and it's probably only worth about what you paid for it, but it's a beauty for sure. Here's a good reference for all RI bottles:
