I don't do appraisals but it's a good looking hutch.

I am not finding this one on the Hutch site. May be rare, may be my lack of skill. Hope others can help. Good luck. Jim

It is on Hutchbook, number PA2700, and listed as rare. But you can't assign a value based solely on the rarity of the bottle so much. More so on demand than availability. (sorry for double post. I think my mouse is screwed up and double clicking everything)

In an effort to help out, I will add that from my experience a rare hutch will typically fetch $100 or more. They are in demand by more than just "local" collectors so have a bit larger market. That said, I would buy it for as little as possible due to the unknown value. If neither party really knows the "going rate" than any value is "fair". Jim

I've seen Hutches rated as rare on hutchsite get anywhere from $10 to over $1,000+. Sorry, that's probably not much help? LEON.

Seeing how there were only around 550 people living in Shrewsbury back when the bottle was made, I wouldn't be surprised if it is one of few, if not the only hutch from the town (for some reason hutchbook isn't working for me). Even without local collector competition, BIM embossed pieces from such a small town won't likely come around too often, so the value/appraisal is mostly up to you and whether or not you think you can dig one.

Hello I say if you really like it, offer the guy $50.00 and go up to your limit from there, YOU can always go up, but you cannot come down......Andy
