blank slug plate question

[butchndad]

probably a terrible question to ask but which would be more valuable; a "run of the mill" embossed hutch or a hutch with a blank slug plate. Asking because i saw a couple or sale and wondered if they were work the $5. Thanks in advance for your input

I would take an embossed hutch. Blank is like a slick. I keep the pontiled ones. Just my opinion. Crafty people could use them I guess.

I think even a common hutch will always be more desirable than an unmarked hutch, unless the blank hutch was an unusual colour or it had a base mark which could be used to identify the bottler.

I think almost all soda or beer collectors are looking for locations or bottlers. Without that information there will not be much interest. Color could be of interest to any collector.

Are you saying... you saw blank plate hutches for sale or run of the mill hutches for 5 beans? Either way, if they're clean with little to no damage (mineral stains, scratches, dings, moons or fish eyes) then 5 dollars each or bundle discount say 4 for 15 or something is reasonable and they may become spot fillers in a collection and possibly traders later. Condition is extremely key here tho bc they don't have much collectible value.
