Nice Fishers bottle from Pittsburg - without the "H". This could fetch a nice price from any local collectors.
 
I don't want to overwhelme the forum with bottle pics but here is 3 more. The B.G.B. I'm guessing it's ginger beer not sure of value can't find it. The one blue bottle is in old budweiser bottle that's says C. Conrad & Co's original budweiser can't find anything on it either. Thanks

The two bottles in the first pic are Hutchinson soda bottles, named after W.. H. Hutchinson of Chicago who patented that type of closure. Value $20-30 range. The really dark purple bottle has been gamma radiated to change the color from clear to that grape purple. Not a real color. The last bottle from Pittsburg is also a Hutchinson soda. Pittsburg (without the "H") used that spelling from 1891 to approx 1908.
 
The Original Budweiser is a valuable bottle, I've seen that size in clean glass sell in the $100 range. Your is stained but if in good shape should still get $50-75. The McEvoy beer / malt marrow from Chicago is common, perhaps $10. The stoneware B.G.B. Ginger Beer bottle I know nothing about.

Thanks for the reply. The bud bottle has a few chips in it around the top. I'm not sure on the B.G.B bottle I've looked and can not find anything on it. I have a bunch of bottles I'm not sure the value on any of them was hoping people like yourself could help I appreciate it.

Thanks for the information I hope you all don't mind me posting a bunch of pics I just know nothing about bottles and I have a bunch.
