I found the bottle labeled J W Juengling & Co Boston, Mass.
One side says “This bottle not to be sold.” On the to cover it says “Pat’d K Hutter”.
Anybody know anything about this bottle, google doesn’t.
references to this are not exactly common. I wish the topic starter added a picture. I wonder if they kept the bottle.
I'll probably try to sell the top on eBay. it has rarity going for it, condition working against its overall value. I figure it's worth listing for 39.93 or so, shipped in the USA.
if anybody has anything to add, please respond here. thank you, forum, members, rabbit.
thank you for your research assistance. hopefully next the original poster will be back with a picture of a bottle.
this cap was dug up at a street corner, under a stop sign, next to a sidewalk. it helps me imagine the lifestyle back then, here where Roslindale meets Jamaica Plain. I recall looking up another thing bunner dug up -- it was a medicinal tincture bottle fragment with text enough to determine a similar circa-1915 burial timeframe. I wonder if the occupant(s) had any trash plan, if they dumped where the streets meet, if common littering corners where a thing here, if one passerby tossed beer and syrup trash at one time.
saved, not trashed (and offered for the historical referencing coincidences, not as promotion), another relic that I have from Boston back then is this 1899/1902/1913 watch:
This isone (1) used1902 Waltham grade 603 bridge-plate model 1899 open-face pendant pocket watch in a 10-carat Philadelphia 20-year case and a soft box. as inscribed, it was gifted to a Thomas W. Canniff for Christmas in 1913.
