OXFORD JUNCTION, IOWA 1890’s O.D. Smith Seltzer Water Bottle Anamosa Maquoketa

Description

Here is your chance to own the only known 1899-1910 O.D. Smith Seltzer Bottle from his Oxford Junction bottling works. I have not been able to find much about O.D. Smith with the exception that he operated a bottling works in the very late 1800’s and early 1900’s in Oxford Junction. In 1911 he was listed as a bottler in Anamosa. I did not believe anything existed like this from his bottling works. This is an age appropriate and 9.8/10 bottle that displays very well. Very strong etching with ORIGINAL and correctly embossed siphon top with intact glass straw. You will spend the next twenty years trying to find another one of these. If you are a collector if Eastern Iowa rare bottles, Jones county history, or just a collector of rare, small town bottlers, this is the perfect addition to your collection. Buy with confidence from an experienced antique collector, dealer, and online seller. Please ask any questions prior to purchasing. More photos available upon request. Good luck!
