1903 Blob top with lightning stopper value

db2794

Hey,

I recently acquired a mint condition attic find amber WM. H. Earl Newton, NJ blob top bottle with the original Karl Hutter lighting stopper. The heel of this bottle is embossed with a 1903 date. The ceramic stopper is printed with his monogram and the inside has the Karl Hutter patent date. The base is also embossed with KH (Karl Hutter). This bottle is one of the most collectible in Sussex County, NJ. I was just wondering if you could give me a value of this beer/soda bottle that has it all and Ian in perfect condition.

Nice bottle, thanks for posting.

I have heard that there is a solid demand for odd closures - just the closures - and also bottles retaining their original "gear." However, this is such a micro-specialty area that I personally would prefer to not attempt a guess.
