Anybody have any information on this bottle? have you seen one, is it rare? I could sure use some help. I've tried to searches on it and not found anything. It came from Telluride, CO and was dug up in that area. Any help is sure appreciated.!!! Also, let me know if you need more info, as I'm new to this

I don't know much about the crown top sodas OldDigger but the meds and hutches from Telluride do realy good at auction .I think they are one of the most sought after Colorado bottles.

Thanks for the reply, I acquired a 30 year collection from the Telluride area and have just started going through it. Sorry, new to this, what are hutches?
Can you tell me what the best site is for locating bottle shows coming up in the future?
Sure appreciate the info!!!

Wow ill bet you have some good ones in there just take your time and get as much info as you can on them. The colorado bottle show has been in Leadville the last few years usualy aruond the 20th of july .Rick Sinner is the president of the Antique bottle collectors of Colorado club.He has tons of information on colorado bottles and i'm sure he could help you find out any information you need.His email is rsinner@comcast.net .Hutches are the older soda bottles short fat and kind of heavy.

If you have any medicine bottles from Telluride or any other towns in Colorado i have the book for them and I can give you information on them.Just post pictures if you can because there are slight differences in some bottles from the same businesses.Everyone here likes to see pics too [].

 

[OldDigger]

Wow, thank you for the info. I'll plan on the Leadville show for sure. Are you talking about medicine bottles that are embossed? I'll get the picture coming ASAP!!!
