My mother passed this on to me. I have tried to find out any information on this bottle and have had no luck. If anyone has information on it and knows it's value I'd appreciate the knowledge !

Cool Piece! Dave

Thanks for the information ! I goofed, the bottom of the bottle that I posted belongs to another bottle that I have ! I looked for a 422 or any other # and there isn't anything other than the "Registered' above the "JB Coolahan" Annapolis MD. ? It is a neet peice, but still wondering if it's worth anything. I will catch up with Reggie. Thanks again !
We have a few of the J.B. Coolahan & M.B. Coolahan bottles. Since it's a family name, we hunt them up whenever we can! And Dave is right, it's a soda bottle from Annapolis. Yours is beautiful and a bit different from some of the ones we have. If you're ever interested in selling, please let us know! We have a place of honor on the top shelf of our living room cabinet. Either way, enjoy it! (ps we've never paid more than $20 for these hutchinson bottles)
I will keep you in mind if I ever decide to sell it. I thinks it's kind of neet to have a piece of history in my house from a place I grew up in. ?
I'd buy, I need more hutchinson's
This was made BEFORE 1906, the U.S. goverment banned hutchinson bottles for being "un-sanitary", and because of the pure food and drug act, they had too stop. I'm a pretty good expert on bottles too. ;)
Worth only 25 to 30 bucks to an average un-specific collector. It's worth 10 bucks more to a local collector.
P.S. I would pay $21. XD
