Looking for an explanation for an outlier in realized prices for a hutchinson bottle

[Dirt Marketini]

Hi folks, I was looking at prices for a specific Shreveport, La hutchinson bottle on worthpoint and there is an outlier that I can't figure out. I don't know a whole lot about bottles, so there could be something fairly obvious that I am missing. I'm seeing seven of these bottles sold, six have an average price of ~$40. One sold for $1,247. As far as I can tell, the conditions are similar. What is different about that one bottle? Can anyone learn me up a little here? It would be greatly appreciated.

The bottle in question:

Andrew Querbes, Shreveport, LA Hutchinson Soda Bottle, Early Coca-Cola Bottler | #417016966

This is another of the hard to find Shreveport Hutchinsons. Andrew Querbes began bottling sometime before 1897. He is listed in the Shreveport City Directory for that year, but I have no access to ant

I don't think there is a difference in any of the Hutch Bottles. only difference I see is he added the magic words Coca Cola to his description. in my opinion I would think the amber Straight sided Coke that actually said Coca Cola would be worth more then the Hutch that didn't say Coca Cola. With out doing more research if I had to guess he probably didn't bottle coke at the time he was selling his Hutch's. He probably got a Franchise agreement with Coke later on. Just my opinion. others may vary. Leon.

I never trust eBay listings. This could have been a rigged scam set up by the seller.
