Info on Hutchinson Wanted, E-P-S-W, SF.

[harryr1961]

[attachment=DSC00687.JPG] Hello All! I was cleaning out the storage and came across this one I kept for research. It is etched E-P-S-W and SF on the shoulder. I found an EP soda works in Hawaii, and wondered if it was the same company. Any help would be appreciated.

Your bottle is described in Peck & Audie Markota's book on California Hutchinsons. Page 44. It is listed as Extremely Rare. It is attributed to Enterprise Pioneer Soda Works and dates from 1909-1914.It wouldn't be all that valuable in perfect condition as most collectors wouldn't like the etching which could be easily duplicated.

S.F. probably stands for San Francisco

Very interesting piece, and neat looking lettering.
