They also will have an area where items will be for sale on Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

It looks like I won’t be able to make it to this auction either. I will miss out on more great items again.

The Star Soda Water is actually fairly common. They were used from the 1920′s into the late 1950′s. Many Coca-Cola bottlers used the Star bottle. They were (and still are) a good looking, unique bottle and bottlers liked that. Gave their product a little extra exposure. Star bottles, since so many bottlers used them and were used for many years, bring around $10 to $20, maybe a little more, depends on condition and finding the right collector looking for a NORTH CHICAGO,ILL version.
Hope this helps.
