ANY INFO ON A FEW OF MINE

[ZOIL]

FELLOWS SYRUP OF HYPOPHOSPHITES
3.75" wide x 2.25" x 7.75" tall

I'm sure this one is just a common, but is this one refered to as a "Hutch"?
If so then what makes it a hutch? What will all Hutch'es have in common?

Would a bottle like this even though it's embossed allso had a paper label on it's smooth side?

Thanks
Ray

Not a Hutchinson soda, Ray. Fellows were Nova Scotia chemists. It was a very popular medicine, widely sold.

Please visit Ron Fowler's most excellent Hutch Book, for all the information you could wish, on all things Hutchinson.

I'm really new to bottles, but have read a few post here and believe this to be a "Blob Top" beer bottle?

Hello Ray , and welcome to the forum .I do not know a lot about values on bottles but most of what you show I know is pretty common . I think that Coca Cola bottle is pretty decent as well as the blob top beer . I sold one back in the eighties for I believe around eight or nine bucks , I guess it would still be worth at least that much . Like everyone , if you keep the interest , you will learn as you go , and there is always someone on this forum that can or will try and help you out . Good luck with your collecting , Lou

Hello again i wondered what I am seeing near the bottom of this bottle you pictured. It looks strange. RED Matthews

Hello RED,

Happy New Year, sir. Those Fellows bottles have a recessed panel with small embossed stars. I believe it was a trademark feature of their bottles.

This one seems to have a dot rather than star...

Surfaceone:

Thanks for the comments and the kind words on my photographic skills. I find it really hard to take good pictures that aren't blurry, so I cheat and do it with a flatbed scanner if the bottle is small or has a flat side.
Whenever you can't shut the lid to the scanner just leave it open and cover things with a cloth before doing the scan.

Somewhere on here I was viewing a picture that had about 40 different bottles they had dug. Their was a comment as to the 3 Hutches' in the middle of the picture. I looked and saw bottles like the Fellows above and mistook a Hutch to be that shape and style of bottle. So I'm glad you cleared that up for me, and I haven't even spent much time on Hutch Book yet. That will be some good rainy day reading, Thanks

Having worked as an HVAC installer for the last 30+ years prior to 07, I would find an occasional bottle, can, marble, Crackerjack trinkets, coins, and allot of unknowns that I would accumulate but never new what to do with.
I have an old Coca-Cola Ice chest stuffed full of just misc. stuff out of the bottom of furnaces and old ductwork.
Any time I tore out an old converted gravity coal furnace that hadn't been cleaned in a long time I knew I was in for a treasure hunt. It seams kids always lost their marbles down the heat pipes

Most of the bottles and cans would come from on top of the ductwork in the basement or tossed back into the crawl space or attic. Allot weren't any thing to bother with, wile others would surprise you when you get them out in the light.

I remember a pint size jar that had been used to mix up some cement or some kind of a thinset mortar or boiler patch, and tossed the jar into the crawl when they finished with it.
I passed it up when I crawled in, it was ugly and had an inch of this stuff stuck in the bottom of the jar and smeared all over the sides.
On the way back out I picked it up and could see that it was embossed with something, and looked like it could have some potential if I could clean it up. I took it home and I think it was like four years later (board to death one day) I got it out and chipped away at it until I got it all sparkle clean.

It's not a high dollar jar or anything, but you should of seen the before pics, heck Rick's Restorations would have been proud. I'll have to get a picture if I can find it.
It turned out to be the 10.5 oz JUMBO Brand Peanut Butter, The Frank Tea & Spice Co, Cincinnati, OH
The one with the embossed elephant face on the front.
I'll harass yah with a picture soon. right now I better quit rambling .

Lou:

Thanks for your input, as I learn bottles I'm finding the blue pages are addicting.

It's to bad everything I got is kinda mundane. I have a barrel full of bottles on another property that I can't even access right now. That is prolly where all my good stuffs at. I do know someplace I got one of them bottles with the big Safe on the front, maybe that will be a little more exciting.

RED:

I got your web page on hold for some rainy day reading too. Looks like allot of good tec info, Thanks

About that groove in the Fellows bottle.
I know if you hold it with the embossing facing away from you and put your pinky or ring finger in that groove and hold on to it, it feels so natural in your hand that you feel like you want to tip it up and drink from the bottle.

Maybe to improve the grip? A lady with a small hand ? it is a fat bottle.
This may of been some form of ergonomics, or subliminal marketing to get a person to overindulge. Ok just being silly.

Back to some bottles
You guys let me know if I find something exciting.

I understand these to be quit commom allso. Is this whats refered to as a utility bottle?
imbossed PUREX twice on it's shoulder and again on the bottom
top lip 1" wide with a 1/2" opening
9" Tall x 4" wide

What I always thought was a cork just fell in with a dull clunk when it hit the bottom of the bottle. I think it is lead, did someone shove a bullit in this bottle or did thay use some sort of ledd cork for a bleach (chemical) bottle?
