Hi Folks -
I stopped in at the local Stockton Springs Historical Society the other day and while checking out the artifacts I happened to notice a Hutch bottle on display. At first I thought it had no embossing but upon closer inspection I found that it had the name Stockton embossed on it. What made this kind of exciting was the fact that of the known Maine Hutch bottles (there are only 16 from Maine) this was not one of them! It is also different than most Hutch bottles because of where the embossing is located, on the shoulder of the bottle. The letters are pretty unique as well for a Hutch. Just goes to show - you never know when something new will show up.

] And as the saying goes... where there's one, there has to be others. Did you ask how they aquired that gem? Perhaps there's a local dump in the area with others awaiting discovery.
