Vintage Soda Water Fairmont West Virginia WV Bottle

Description: This vintage soda water bottle is a unique addition to any collection. With its nice design and historical significance, it is sure to be a conversation starter. The bottle is from Fairmont, West Virginia and is a great representation of the state's rich history. It is a nice soda bottle, dating back to the early 1900s and is in excellent shape for its age. The bottle is perfect for collectors of soda bottles or anyone interested in West Virginia's history. Bottle has a small chip under the L in "cola" that's shown in the 4th pic and has some damage on the heel and a small lip chip that are shown in the last two pics. The bottle also has creek rash from rolling around in the creek bed for 100 years and has a frosted look. Other than that the bottle may need some additional cleaning or a tumble depending on how clean you prefer your bottles. Please read! Almost every bottle I have for sale is dug. Dug bottles are never in mint condition. They usually have at least one of the following issues if not all of them. Scratches Flea bites (tiny chips that you have to look really hard for that are often seen on the lips of bottles). Haze/staining Case-wear Tiny bruises By making an offer/purchasing any bottles I have listed I'm assuming you've read what I wrote and acknowledge that there are likely 1 or more of the following issues listed above. Please do not message me asking me if I'll take certain offers unless you're either wanting me to combine shipping on certain items that amount to $25 before shipping or you're wanting to do a local pickup. Instead go to the make offer option and enter your offer there. If it's enough that I'd accept it I'll get notified. If it's not, then you'll either have to increase your offer there or just do without the bottle. Unfortunately due to the fees that eBay charges $25 + shipping is my bottom $ with most bottles on here as any less than that isn't worth my time as feebay takes out fees on what I make, then they take out fees on what the post office makes when I don't even make anything off the shipping. After all the fees are taken out and the shipping is paid I may make $15 on a $25 bottle if I'm lucky. I do a quick 30 second glance over my bottles to inspect them before listing. I do my best to mention cracks, chips, and bruises. But am not going over my bottles with a magnifying glass trying to discover flaws that are so tiny that you have to put in effort to find them as it isn't worth my time. As a collector myself, I understand that damage is a deal breaker on some bottles, but the extent of the damage is also important, which is why I'm just going to say that all my bottles have the minor things that I listed above. I will describe cracks, chips or bruises that are found when examining the bottle or bottles before listing (minus fleabite sized chips and tiny bruises that are caused from case-wear as these are found on 95% + of dug bottles). When it comes to the shipping I use priority mail. Yes there are cheaper rates from sellers who own a printer; I do not. I get free labels and boxes using priority so I'm sticking with that unless someone donates a working printer to me. My shipping is estimated and isn't always accurate as just one ounce can change the cost by over a $1. While I do have scales I don't use them because I don't know what materials I'll be using for fill which can change the weight of the box. It's too much of a hassle to pack everything before hand if I'm not guaranteed a sale, so just look at the total cost of the bottle and shipping both and consider it the total cost of the bottle or bottles and decide if it's worth it or not. If I overestimated the shipping cost feel free to send me a refund request for the amount that I overestimated and I'll refund anything that went over the listed shipping amount. However I have no power to do refunds, so messaging me about it with no refund request will not help. I would just make shipping free so that some people would have no issue with it, but I would have to factor in that people in far away states with high shipping rates may buy the bottles and that'd cause me to have to jack up the price causing me to possibly lose sales to closer buyers. I can do better on price for those who are buying multiple small to medium bottles as I can combine the shipping. As stated $25 is my bottom $ on most bottles on here, but if there are multiple listings you'd be interested in purchasing, I can most likely go cheaper if they're small to medium bottles. I can fit up to four pint beer or soda bottles in one box. I can fit even more smaller bottles in one box. If that's what you're wanting to do please message me before making any offers so that I can edit the listings to where I can give you the best deals. If you make offers or purchases before messaging me about combining the shipping, then it will be on you to figure out how to request a refund (yes eBay makes that a challenge). I have no power to do that on my end. Sellers who can figure it out send me a refund request on their end which I accept unless I've already packed the bottles. If you are planning on doing a local pickup I can give you a better deal than I would someone who I'd have to ship to, so please message about that before purchasing if that's what you're wanting to do. Please select the local pickup option rather than paying for the shipping because I do not know how to refund the shipping costs if it's paid for on my end. I do not give cash refunds due to a new tax law. So you will have to go through eBay and figure it out on your own if you pay for the shipping. Thanks for reading!
