Well, maybe sort of a reproduction. They are really small and only resemble a hutch to those who know the are supposed to be a hutch. More like a poor representation of a hutch made in Rangpor or some other forgotten little country. My wife bought a 6er of them cause she thought they were cute. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 2

This has a crown top.  I suppose maybe it has embossing that was similar to the coke hutchs or something? I find it hard to call it a hutch. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 3

They either make repros like the Christmas cokes that are so close and poorly marked that novice collectors confuse them with originals OR they make repros that are so far from the originals that no one wants them. Cant they figure out how to make visually good repros and just mark them with the date or something simple like that (simple enough for anyone on ebay to tell them apart)? Doesnt see like rocket science for a billion dollar company that owes a lot of its fame to nostalgia. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 4

I as usual have a dry sense of humor that I think got missed. I was more rubbing the 1989 mentions when I have a feeling that over and over they meant 1889. That and $13.90 for shipping. A six pack of fulls costs what? _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back. (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 5

They are about a third smaller than a hutch but that is what they are supposed to be. They cost 5 bucks a six.

I thought gee this is not a reproduction. Correct me if I am wrong, but I have never seen a hutch bottle with a crown top. I did not Major in English but I did get a college education, and re, in front of production, means produced again. How can it be a reproduction if it was never produced in the first place?     Lee  _____________________________ I was feeling sorry for myself because I had no shoes.
