SHOW YOUR FAVORITE HUTCH!!!

Wow, Thats a Killer Hutch, Always wanted to dig one. Doubt that will happen in Michigan but just may if I dig down at my Moms house in Alabama? LEON.

Thanks Dean and Leon. There is a long story about digging this hutch. The State Highway was building an overpass over a railroad track. They were digging the footing for the overpass and uncovered a stash of bottles. My brother was working in this town and he found out about the bottles. We rushed there to find the highway department hauling off the dirt as fast as they dug it. He followed the dump trucks and got permission for us to dig in the dirt they were dumping. There were hutches both local and other places. I had three Brunswick, Ga. Coca Cola hutches but sold them. Guess I'll never have another one, but that's the way it goes.Some say that this is an imitator of Coca Cola. Some say that it is a misprint. Two lawers from Chattagoona, Ten. obtained the bottling rights for everywhere except Miss. and Texas for $1, (which is reported that they forgot to pay). What ever it is, it's my favorite hutch.

Fort Wayne, Indiana Hutch: Listed as Rare in Hutchbook. Front: "FORT WAYNE / J.F. FREMION / BOTTLING WORKS" Base: "J. F. F. / 1 4 8 4 / 1" Back heel: "A. B. Co." "1 4 8 4" has a ghostly twin embossed in the base as a mistake(?) Circa 1905.
Story on how I got it is here: https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/So-excited-m669362.aspx As for how a rare Hutchinson got so far away from home as to land in a small antique store.... Who knows.

Here is an unusual shaped hutch that I call my Tee-Pee hutch and an Indian maiden. Enjoy, Dean
