chicago consolidated bottling

I have found a few of these. Mine are quite similar, but omit "Chicago, IL". Same address though. Have you found anything else about these?

I thought they were originally ink bottles. We have found several "Thomas Inks" bottles in the same dig. After more investigation, they seem to be soda/beer bottles. One particular bottle seems to have some kind of stopper inside. Like a seal or flow regulating device. I am going to try to get some pics up tommorrow.

I've got the same Hutch. I picked mine up at a flea market for ten bucks. I felt like I got a good deal. It's a good one with lots of embossing! The digger that sold me mine dug it in Kentucky and said it came from a toc privy... Chris Capley

I found a bottle from the same company, but mine does not have the 14-18 address on it. Any idea on year?
