"Ping Out" on Hutch

[Robby Raccoon]

Why was there a Y?

From my research all his earlier bottles from 1879 & before had the Y. After 1879 he decided to drop the Y. If my research is correct & the first hutch came out in 1879 then the Funkey with a Y would be a 1 year & first year for that hutch? LEON.

Interesting.

So Funke was pronounced as one syllable?

I have painted the bottle.

cool looking bottle Bear, kinda looks like a double duck tho, with that big beak, like a honker..........

They're actually bigger. I just try to leave the very edges of the embossing blank. LOL.

It is strikingly similar to the Austrian eagle.

Funny seeing this post. I have the same Double Eagle hutch bottle with the "Alex Sample" on it.

Very neat. They came from the same mould.
