How about Hutches

We've shown our pontiled sodas and minerals.
HOW ABOUT SHARING HUTCHES?
I'll start out with one of my favorites.
This is a somewhat rare Full funnel top Excelsior Soda Works bottle. Excelsior Soda Works started towards the late 1880's and continued until the 1960's. You could make a large collection just collecting Excelsiors.
All the earliest hutches (except one) were blown at west coast glass companies. Most were blown in S.F. at Pacific Glass Works. The reason being is that Hawaii lacked the raw materials for making these early bottles.

Hey Pono,

Here's a photo of the best Local Hutch i have dug to date. It now resides in my brothers collection. I dug one other of the same bottle late last fall but didn't get it in my picks that day and man, was my borther disappointed. Thankfully I found him another.
Enjoy this bottle is about the hardest to find Steubenville Hutch. I've been told that the "Tombstone" Slug plates are the earliest type.

Hey Zane,
That is a nice hutch that you dug. The tombstones are the rarer of those early era hutches.
You gave it to your brother, wish you were my brother.
Quite a few bottles from Steubenville are considered rare and hard to find.
Thanks for the post.
