Nice hutch due to the color, worth about $200-250... I'm not sure why you used the term Bailtop, it's a hutchinson stopper...

kieser sousa/rip, that looks like a good "sleeper" to me. What is the condition, is this attic shiny new? It looks like the old stopper is hanging from the spout .

The market is down and has been for four years plus. If I saw this at a yard sale, and it was mint attic condition, I would offer at least five bucks for it.

But if you want a knee jerk appraisal, I say 400-800 bucks, attic perfect.

Gleaner may be right, but the last one on Ebay sold for $255, so I'll stick with my assessment...

Thanks guys.I was told it was a bailtop by someone that I had my doubts about ...one reason I posted here.It's in great shape theres no chips or cracks.I found it in some bush's next to an old barn.There is one bubble that is breaking through...I'll post a pic. I'm in the process of moving and have to liquidate alot of things so this is going on ebay.Y'all are awesome and much appretiated ! Thanks !

That bubble will hurt the value some but it's tough to find hutches in color and this is a nice example, please post a link to the auction when you list it because I'd like to follow it....

Nice hutch, but even a better find-- :occasion14:

That's a really nice Hutchinson you've got there. I don't see many down here that have color - just clear, light green, and aqua. Nice find and a keeper!!!

Amber, slugplate, and in better condition, good one there. For a value, Any Slugplate Amber hutch i'd shell out $50 _ minumum... good find.
