[Alaska]

i finally got a working camera, so im going to start a thread with some of the bottles i dig/buy/trade from VA as i get a chance. if you guys out there have some VA beers/sodas that you arent to attached to, feel free to let me know! i would love to give va bottles homes![8|]

this is an Otto Korn from Petersburg VA. one of the better blobs from petersburg!

 

[Alaska]

these are two of the better hutchinson sodas from my area in hampton roads. L.B Amory Grafton VA / T. E Amory Smithfield VA (there are two other Amory hutches from my area, one from yorktown and another from grafton with different embossing, both droolers![] )

 

[Alaska]

this is the best hutch you can get from VA. big money hutch from richmond: McAdam & Donnelly Richmond VA. its not the rarest, becuase there are more than a handful of one of a kind hutches from around the state, but it is the only colored hutch from VA, and there are only 3-4 known.

That's a stunning bottle! I love everything about it. Applied top? Are those grapes embossed on it?

Nice locals, Tom. The amber hutch with the embossed hops/grapes is sweet. I hope you find an intact example of the headless horseman. I have a few rare local bottles with some damage, too. The need for upgrades gives us something to keep looking for. ~Jim
