Sorry, not my field of expertise. I know these seltzer bottles are hard to date since they were used from the 1920s to the 1940s. most are valued anywhere from $150 to $700. Just need to know if your particular bottle is rarer than others. I'm not seeing yours in any Coca-Cola price guides, which doesn't mean it's rare, since thee were many designs, styles produced.
Lenny,
I am a collector of Texas seltzer bottles and Texas milk bottles so I can probably give you a better idea of its value if you can give me so idea of its condition. Most of the Texas seltzer bottles have values between $50 -$250 with the Dr. Pepper bottles having the most value. Not very many collectors of these seltzers since they are big and heavy. Most of them I see are just a by product of someones soda bottle collection. If you want more info email me at johnmau66@gmail.com.
Old Seltzer bottle. The bottles made in Czechoslovakia seem to be worth more money. I've seen some go for up to $200.00 at auction in excellent condition. (no staining, cracks or chips) No matter it is a nice collectible. Keep it in the family and the value will increase without a doubt.
