  Condition is of utmost importance to bottle collectors and flaws really do affect the value.
  
  Your photos are quite small so I cannot make out the details but it looks like you have a burst bubble along the base edge and perhaps some other roughness in the body over the embossing.
  
  The blue color of yours is a big plus but this is not a rare soda. It does have some value but not perhaps as much as you are thinking.

  Thank you for the information. I am not a collector so any information is helpful. I thought it may be rare because of this article in the FHOBC magazine. I figured this was a reputable source.

  Sorry, my error.
  
  I checked auction results, and apparently looked too quickly. I found listings for an AW Meyer in Savannah whose bottles have only sold in the $100-200 range.
  
  So much hangs on so few letters. The bottle is in rough condition which does hurt its prospects but it may just be that there are a few collectors that have to have one regardless of condition.
  
  Even if rare, I can't imagine someone paying a whole lot for such a rough bottle...unless I am misinterpreting your photos....like I said, they are darn small pictures. Post some larger ones and you may get a different opinion!
