as far as I know the only known Levin bottle from Paterson is a clear crown top.....While I'm out at the local Gin mill this afternoon my cell rings and it's Mike(slagpiledriver) letting me know about this Levin Quart Hutch, so when I get home I find out the auction was actually today at 1:00pm well after Mike called. I sent him a pm thanking him for thinking of me and letting me know about the bottle but to be honest I was truely BUMMED !!
I clicked onto the auction site and it showed that the auction was still in progress but well past item #130 which was the bottle. I decided to call them and find out what this Rare Gem sold for, much to my surprise the person on the other end told me there were no bids for it and he asked if I would like him to reopen the bidding starting at $5.00. Needless to say I said yes sirree Bob and 15 seconds later I was the owner of this yet uncatalogged and unknown quart hutch from Haiman Levin !!! He also took my info for any future bottles that they may come across in Newburgh NY from my neck of the woods...
Once again Mike has really come thru for me and there are no words to describe how great this site is for making friends, finding bottles and just total enjoyment of this collecting biz !!! I am blown away once again, it really pays off to keep asking about bottles you collect, I get e-mails and pm's all the time regarding bottles from Paterson because of it. I am always on the lookout for the rest of you who have added to the "What People Collect" in Buy, Sell and Swap. I suggest you all add your names if you have yet to do so.....Jim[
