"Ping Out" on Hutch

[Robby Raccoon]

The bottle club here calls this a peen- or ping-out when seen.

The glass company hammered out the words ALEX SAMPLE in the mold and replaced the plate for it with The Double Eagle Bottling Co. of Cleveland, Ohio.

I'm not sure what Alex Sample was but assume it was a sample for Alex, possibly with blank or standard plate. They then re-used the mould for The Double Eagle.

Unlisted variant.

Alex Sample was a person, and the original bottle read "Alex Sample, Macon Ga." There's a picture of an original one here: http://dixiesoda.com/maconhutch.html Quite the distance between Macon and Cleveland! I wonder how the mold came to be reused for a company so far away from the first.

I have a few bottles that have reused molds. I think they add to the interest of the bottle.

Thanks, Canadian Bottles. Interesting last name Sample is. I assume the glass house that made the bottle made bottles for half the country likely East of the Mississippi. That explains why they're so far apart.

Scott, it really sets them apart.

A lot of the Funkey bottles from Detroit will have the Y Peened out & it will say Funke. LEON.

LOL, I misread that as funky, like odd or funny. LOL.
