Although Mokelumne Hill bottles are fairly collectible I don't know that the hutches are all that rare. I see them offered from time to time. The $100+ minimum bids being sought for the three listed are on the high side. The C.A. Werle has several small lip chips which cannot be examined in the one photo posted in the description -- certainly not a $100 bottle with the damage. The two Mokelumne Hill Soda Works examples have heavy casewear on the lower embossing and are both from the same mold. There is a variant with a different bolder embossing font not offered here.

Thanks for posting. I was looking at other items sold by this seller just to see some of the prices being realized in his auctions. Most seem to be in the $10 range but occasionally he hits a home run like with this trade token from Nevada that sold for $2,200.00. Some people just have too much money on their hands. Go figure!

Fred's prices are a BIT too high. Those Mok Hill hutchies aren't at all scarce. He invited a bunch of us over to his home to ogle sodas, but we passed. Some guys went but nothing good was available, something that we already understood. the McKenna's whiskey isn't bad, but it prob'ly won't go for half a yard, either.

Just for visual reference here are my three Mok Hill hutches, without lip chips and some lower embossing case wear.
