Went Prospecting Today - 3/19/2007 12:51:31 AM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2027 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline    I took a ride out to my brother's house to wheel and deal a bit on a particular Steubenville Hutch I was privy to. No pun intended, ha ha. I picked up a nice Cadiz, Ohio Dentist(druggist) that we dug together last Spring. I also got a later Hutch from the same Bottler as the one I traded him. It's good trading material. He also gave me a super Cuspidor. An early glazed piece. Wait until you see it. I went out to a little town that was bustling in the 1860's and poked out a hole to dig. I then went to another little town that once was large and found a dump right next to a Public School. It was a great day Prospecting!   Here is a photo of the Hutch we dug Monday(left) and one I dug a couple of months back. Both from the same bottler but the one on the left is "Bell-Shape" It's an early Hutch Soda and also quite scarce. That's my second one of those too but I didn't get it in my picks on that dig.
