Cool but broken

[Frogmountain]

So much glass dug from the beach today but nothing intact

Still has part of a cork in it

New York shards

My only intact guy was this modern whatever. LAAAAME

More shards plus old nails

Crazy heavy wine bottle bases that could definitely murder a person

Various stern warnings that this bottle was not to be sold

Hutter base

Matching shards from a Union Bottling Co. bottle

What a shame about that citron beer, that would have been a great bottle!

That's the older Karl Hutter base too, I believe the whole name was only spelled out in full until 1900, after that it was only abbreviated KH or K. Hutter.

Your dig was much like mine--a lot of "what could have beens" but the depositor smashed most artifacts into pieces... Better luck next dig.

Ok, here's an open to all, question- What made Hutter kill himself? ..Seems like he was into a very large and successful, geographic area business which encompassed large and even small town connections. Should have been a happy guy enjoying life...

Well lightning stoppers were on the decline around the time he took his own life, his ownership of this patent accounted for much of his income, perhaps he wasn't making enough money to maintain the lifestyle he was use to.

Good question. I'm leaning the other way, however. From the account I read he was single, living in decent digs, and for unknown reason(s) he surprisingly, got into his bathtub and shot himself. ..Has to be more to it. I'm guessing depression, possibly a case of then unknown PTSD from his service in the Austrian army as a young man. ..Any Hutter fans in the house?

What do you do with all that busted glass??

 

[Len]

A) Whatever the property owner wants...
B) If no property owner is involved there are a few options: When there is probable human or other animal contact after the dig bury the broken glass in one or more pits.
C) Remove it from the property and properly re-cycle it.
D) Gather time specific colored glass and offer it to glass blowers
E) Save bases. Smooth them out and sell as challenge coins, good luck collectibles, etc.
F) Let your imagination loose ...

Bury everything broken
