Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Shickshinny, PA bottles

[Bottleman]

Just some new bottles I recently picked up from the estate of a man who passed away. He must have collected from that region. Does anyone know the rarity of these? Thanks.

Know nothing about rarity but nice score!

They ALL look like great bottles to me especially if they aren't chipped or cracked. I looked up the Cronks Beer and that was a spicy root beer product. Might have even contained alcohol.

Sounds good. Thanks for the information!

I grew up in the Scranton area. Both the Scranton bottles are nice The Butterman cronk bottles pop up on ebay 3 or 4 times a year. Usually range $40 to $50. The Spitzer is interesting. I have several hutch and crowns but not a blob. I don't remember seeing any of those on ebay or local antique shows.

Thanks for the information Brent. I looked up the deep green squat and it is actually from Wilkes-Barre, PA even though it's not marked.

There is a Spitzer blob on ebay now. Is that the one you had in this post?

Hi. Yes, that is it. I decided to resell the Spicer and I'm saving the green squat for my collection.

Good luck with the sale. I thought it was strange that two of these would pop up at the same time.
