I recently saw on a website a cobalt Smith & Co sided soda that up for sale.
In the description it stated that cobalt Smiths were rare and the green ones were more common.
Happen to both own bottles in cobalt and green. I haven't seen almost any green version of this bottle.
However, I have seen quite a few cobalt ones that were up for sale over time.
So, can anyone help me out on this question.
I posted a photo of my cobalt Smith, green one needs tumbling so no photo right now.
Thanks,
opmustard

Thank your great comments on my bottles and yard.
I really would like to know which is rarer than the other when it comes to color.

I wouldn't know, but if you know Mike Newman, Chip Brewer or Jamie Westendorff, any one of them should be more than capable of telling you.

I called Jamie and he clearly straighten out my question about the rarity of the two colors.
Thank you again for your help.

I talked with some knowledgeable diggers/collectors that have digging and collecting for a long time.
They all agree that the cobalt Smith & Co. is the rarer. I haven't seen too many green ones come for sale, so I got curious.
I began collecting and once in awhile digging (with some very good luck) Southern sodas about 22 years ago. I just like East Coast sodas & minerals a lot more than lets say West Coast ones ( just a personal preferance.)
I don't know if my green Smith is embossed with Charleston. I have it in my garage, its waiting to be tumbled. I'll take a look and post if it does or doesn't.
