RE: Ever seen a round bottom Hutch? - 5/18/2010 10:56:01 AM    texasdigger Posts: 622 Joined: 1/6/2006 From: Roanoke Texas Status: offline That is one sweet soda!  It would do so well at the Houston show.  You are correct when you say sodas do well at that show.  The last show I was at had about 15 common drug stores, one nice Galveston Citrate, two Texas patent meds, couple nice Texas crocks and the rest of the Texas stuff was sodas.  As far as Texas soda collectors there are some really amazing collections.  I know of a couple collections that were used in writing some books about Texas sodas.  Truly close to complete Texas soda collections.  I am not a big soda guy, but I love the early Texas bottles.  My favorite soda from Texas is the "P. Conat New Orleans Galveston Texas" with an iron pontil in deep aqua green.  My friend who owns one of the two says they were found in a wall of a house that was being remodeled.  They are both in mint condition. Very nice bottles Jay!  It feels good to find something that is possibly unique. Brad (in reply to jays emporium) Post #: 41

RE: Ever seen a round bottom Hutch? - 5/18/2010 12:29:15 PM    crabbergirl   Posts: 46 Joined: 4/21/2010 Status: offline I have 3 of what we have always called "Ballast" bottles as they were discribed as bottles that provided ballast for trans Atlantic ships. The bottles were filled with either water or gingerale and used if needed during the trips or off loaded at ports for supplies. The ones I have are embossed "Belfast" and others are plain. I will have to post pics for you as I now wonder if what I was told was true. The dump these came from is rumored to be a pre Civil War landing. _____________________________ No bottle left behind!

As for the Houston show I am not sure if I will go.  I do have a ton of druggists to sell, but I am not sure how they would do there.  Thanks for offering the info though.  As it gets closer I am sure I will go, but maybe not set up. Thanks again, and have a good week.  If I do go I will bring the meds we discussed, and see what we can do after the show.  I wish we could work out a trade between us.  I would rather trade bottles with friends instead of exchanging cash.  It just feels better.

RE: Sold my round bottom Texas Hutch. - 7/25/2010 8:39:38 PM    jays emporium Posts: 1383 Joined: 12/18/2006 From: Victoria, Texas Status: offline The Rische's round bottom Hutchinson from San Antonio now has a new owner.  I sold it for $350. at the Houston show.  If it said San Antonio, Texas it would have been a grand.  I had enough documentation to prove it is San Antonio though.

I did have additional proof of it being a San Antonio bottle.  I found an tooled top crown embossed RISCHE'S BOTTLING WORKS SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.  I sold the 2 bottles together so there is no question about the origin of the round bottom.
