3rd Privy & Counting, The Cobalt Blue Hutch Hole.

[RICKJJ59W]

Hutches don't excite me much anymore but those blue ones would. Color is king

Unfortunately the Cobalt Blue G. Norris & Geo. Norris from Detroit are probably the most common of the Cobalt Blue Hutches (exception would be the tombstone or horseshoe variation) But I'm not complaing, I'd love to dig more. Luckily Michigan has more different Blue Hutches then most other States & even some Amber Hutches too, would love to dig a Amber Hutch, Maybe next weekend? LEON.

Wow! That was exciting! I have never dug a cobalt hutch in 30 years of digging even when back east. I bet you can get quite a few bucks for em, enough to buy several amber hutches I suspect............

Then it was back to the Cobalt Blue Hutches again.

With each cobalt hutch you found the price went down. Sad, right? [:-] Great dig by the way. Apparently so much money to be made digging bottles out here in California, it's basically a closed shop. In the past I always dug bottles with the intention of keeping them in my collection. Nowadays finding a place to dig takes diligence, time and being retired. I work 40 hours per week, have little discretionary income, and can't even afford a car. Ebay is my only resource for adding to my collection 99% of the time. I love digging but that's mostly a thing of the past for me. I'm physically fit and enjoy the activity, but never get the chance. Others have all the chances in the world but because of physical limitations can no longer dig. So it goes both ways. Such is life.

Out of the 3 blue Hutches I got 2 of them are going in my collection since they are variations I did not have. The Very Dark Bluish Purple hutch I already had in better shape so thats the only one I will be selling (or trade) I don't think that one dark blue hutch will flood or affect the market much. Not sure what Tom is going to do with his 4 (5 if you count broken top one) but his 4 should not flood the market. I could see 100 of these flooding the market but not the small amount we found.

Tom, Your Broken top hutch looks like that real light cornflower blue. I think I may have a donor top for you to fix the damage possibly. I found this donor in the hole next to this one a year or 2 ago. LEON.

Big time and good results = is all I can say. Nice coverage of a job well done. I only have two Hutches, but they both have bottlemyseries, in them. RED Matthews
