Very old bottles

[mydogiscool]

I guess these are soda bottles? They are very old, very thick glass, also bubbles in glass, most are in really good condition. Anyone know anything? Age? Thanks in advance

Hey cool,

These are probably the oldest of the lot. They're called Hutchinson sodas. I can't make out the bottler of either, from your photos. You can look em up here: HutchBook Home They were on the scene from 1879 to about 1910.

A photo tip on old bottles, if you don't mind; natural light, or a well made light box, works way better than flash photography, on capturing the color and detail.

Help an old, sight impaired guy out; when posting photos of bottles you might like to know more about, please transcribe the embossing, and take photos of the bases and lips, too.

What is the embossing and or symbol on the ten pin? The other bottles all appear to be fairly early crown cap sodas. The Gustav C. Pelot's are nice. He later bottled Chero-Cola.

So where are you finding these guys? Are most, or all of them Illinois Glass Co. made?

That is a really great group of bottles. On those slug plates i kept hoping to see coca cola in script but did not. Neverless, all of these are early Illinois bottles and are fantastic finds. Those hutches are real beauties.

Surf,thanks for your time. 2 g.c pelot marked on bottom with big P- the pin bottle is Lucky club marked Alton il- W.H Weisbach marked 931 E 2nd st- Alton mfc- C . Marshal marked with big M - the 2 hutch bottles are another marshal and A. P Earnst. I bought the collection a few years ago from a guy I know, I had first bought his Indian artifact collection, he said he found walking a creek, so these might be creek finds also, I'm not sure.


I was born in Alton IL and live on the outskirts now,so I bought them for the local history aspect as all bottles are marked Alton. Thanks for the help.

You probably won't get this message as your post is close to two years old. I was pleased to see the Gustav C (Charles) Pelot bottles. He was my great grandfather. I was at his bottling plant many times. He died in 1957 when I was 10 years old I'm 68 now living in Dallas.

Those crown tops are 20th century, from the 20's- 30's
