You are so right about Hutchison Sodas. Someone might pay a premium for one from their hometown, but the price for the same bottle is greatly reduced 50 miles away. But this one is not your garden variety slug plate embossed hutch. And it is not locally common. I know of one other and the embossing on it was worn down from going through the washing and bottling machinery. Mine may have never been re-filled. Thanks for your pricing estimate.Real nice hutch. For me this type of bottle is always tough to price . There are hundreds of different embossed hutches . Most every town old enough had local embossed hutches . So they are very common and when I used to dig sometimes I’d hit a spot and dig dozens of a particular brewer or soda maker . In other words a local collector would pay a premium to put one they’ve never seen in their collection. Someone else likely not . That said yours is very cool with the great and copious embossing . Condition looks good also . Aqua is of course the most common color. If that thing were cobalt blue you’d have a killer bottle . My guess assuming it’s not locally common is $40-80 dollars . Even though; I love it . Keep it and enjoy it .
Thanks XR7. This post went 23 days without a comment LOL. My poor bottle was beginning to think nobody liked himNice glass, Steve. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. It's not for sale, but it's always nice to get a value estimate.She's a beaut....if I had dug it and kept it this long it would be nfs It would be priceless just for the memory, not just because it is an attractive bottle, which it certainly is. Thanks for sharing it
Very, very nice bottle! Do you have a technique for reducing the haze often found in old bottles like this?
