Neat Bought Hutch

[bottlehunterofcoscob]

I'd like to have a little more info on this cool hutch i just bought. It really attracted my attention, so before I bought it I looked it up on Hutchbook. It lists this hutch as rare, so I thought for $19 bucks I'd take this one home with me. It's got some neat embossing in a rectangular slug plate. It's embossed Burns & Armstrong Toronto, and has a muscular arm holding a scale. Was this a good buy? Also, here are two meds and a polish I picked up. The first is Ramon's Relief, next is Dr Miles' Restorative Blood Purifier, and the last is Black Cat Polish.

Me, too. Like the Ramon's Relief, as well. What's the wording on the embossing?

That logo for Armstrong is awesome. That is a great hutch you have.

Thanks to all of you. The Ramon's is the last one you listed, Surf. I got it for $3.50.

Thanks. Is the hutch really all that rare?

I'd imagine it's not as rare as hutchbook says, many of the hutches are just estimates provided by local collectors who submitted the original listing to Ron. Some haven't been updated for many years, it wouldn't surprise me if there were a couple hundred of them out there... Still a good bottle because there are numerous Toronto collectors making it much more desirable than the hutches I collect because there's only a handful of us collecting them.

That's what I figured because I've seen others online. As always, thanks a lot for your great info and input.
