Would this be considered a slick? What kind of value does a bottle like this have? I have a few that look identical except much dirtier...and what is a hutch?

Yes, this would absolutely be considered a slick. This is the optimity of a slick. Generally any 1900-modern slick is not worth very much unless they are unusual or unique. Most slicks from that time range go for $20 at the most. Slick whisky cylinders are worth $5-$10. A Hutch refers to a bottle which would have had the Hutchinson closure which was primarily and popularly used for a lot of sodas until they started to phase out when the crown top bottle top came out in the early 1890s in which you would use a bottle cap opener top open it. The crown top is still used and is virtually on almost all existent glass beer bottles to this date. How you would open a Hutchinson stopper is by pressing down on the spring thus, releasing the rubber seal from the lower part on the inside of the finish (top) of the bottle. Hutchinson bottles were made from 1879-1912 and generally did not have a neck for the top. In addition; the top of the bottle was a “blob top”. I will insert some photos of Hutchinson’s to familiarize you with them. None of which of the ones photographed are owned by me.

Is it a 3 piece BIM?

It was not blown in a three-piece mold. If it had been, you would at the very least see the seam running around the cylinder portion of the bottle below the shoulder. And at that, it would have to be positioned 90-degrees out from the photographer's position for one of the vertical seams to not show. Of course, this is assuming it was not "turned in mold" to erase mold seam marks. The bottle does not appear to be turn mold, especially judging by the base photo.

This is interesting, the turn in the mold. And the turn would erase the seam marks including the one at the top of the cylinder?
