A guide and reference to early soda and mineral bottles of the Old West.


This is a reprint and update of Peck & Audie Markota's "Early Soda and Mineral Bottles of the Old West." Markota's book(s) are valuable references but was completed before the use of computers as we know them today. Jeff Wichmann's American Bottle Auction catalogs are too valuable to waste the excellent photos of rare bottles.


With the additional listings of unlisted bottles from the collections of Mike Southworth, John O'Neill, John Louder, Richard Siri and Rick Siri it places more information into this endeavor.


That being said, I consolidated the information presented in each book and have created a reference guide in color to assist local collectors.
