There are alot of books out there BUT I don't think any one book will have what you want. There are several web sites that can help some.

The Key west 7 1/2oz bottle is a soda water and is worth about $5.

Hi Bill Porter's book will help but will not give prices. I usually research my prices on ebay, say you have a Laurel MS bottle, look up "Laurel bottle" on ebay under current and completed auctions. If one comes up sell it close to what it sold for, if not and you don't have anything in it, do like I did when I bought my bottle collection, start everything at $9.99 with a very good description. Bill Porter's book tells you if a bottle is unknown, the best, I've found two!, scarce, rare, or common. The problem is you can have a rare bottle and it still be worth $10 from one town and have a Rare bottle from another town that could go for $300. When I get home I will look at my porter book and your list of cities and tell you if any of them are unknown.
