Research reveals nothing on this old Washington DC bottle? yhjuhh

Thanks a lot. Also answered what a hutch was after searching. I am cataloging my dad's collection and most of them I find through this page or research, but the MTB didnt come up in any searches. Thanks.

Pics coming. Bottle reads MTB 363 M St. SW WASH'G'T'N D.C. Letters are inside a "tombstone" shaped half-oval. No apparent trademark. Top is round with a metal pull stopper that's still inside bottle. TIA.

50s to 70s ACLs?

My father would walk past things from this era when I was growing up....but now these bottles are 50 plus years old, and the last of their kind before paper labels came along. They were too mass produced to ever be worth much, but they are still collectible to an extent. True to their time the...

Meaning of etched v. printed trademark?

I hail from Maryland, USA, found on the Potomac River or its shores most likely. Thanks. Will take better pix tonight.

Meaning of etched v. printed trademark?

I will take a better picture, I don't think that's a mark above but I will double-check. What I was really asking is most bottle trademarks seem neatly "stamped" on but this one seems like it was done by hand and not as neat as usual. Thanks.

Meaning of etched v. printed trademark?

I am a digger and collector and currently cataloging my father's collection. While looking through a box of cobalts (mostly plain cobalts and Bromos) I found one cobalt where the neck and top are a little misshapen and the trademark is hand-etched instead of the normal looking trademarks. Does...

Date of this DC Rock Creek bottle?

Thanks. Was just wondering. I am a collector and not much of a re-saler except for surplus things I have more than a couple of.

Date of this DC Rock Creek bottle?

Living in Maryland I've found many nice Rock Creek bottles, but mostly generic soda size. But this is the only one like this so was wondering if it's a little older. It's a 25 oz bottle, it says on bottom 1 pint, 9 oz. Also says on bottom Min. Contents 1 pint, 9 oz, Trade Mark Registered...

Esquire skuffkote - not an old bottle but don't see much info on it. It was some type of shoe polish that came with a cotton ball attached to the top from what I hear.
