Looks like a killer from what I can see.

Tim,

I believe that may be unlisted. Nice! []

BtlKid,
Thanks, it is my best home town bottle. Both Christ & Heblich were listed as bakers and confectioners. I have not found any other Heblich bottles but Andrew Christ was quite a prolific bottler and his sons followed him in the business. I have examples of paneled ponies, paneled hutches,straight hutches,& baltimore loops.

This is unknown to me until now. I like the FRL marking! It will be added on my next update.

Awesome bottle, not many pontilled Indiana sodas from anywhere and that one is killer.
