[Robby Raccoon]

I saw a Red Jacket one once and the name intrigued me. It still intrigues me. Thanks for posting them!

Maybe he's talking about the Red Jacket price?

10 dollars up isn't bad. I got my bottle for 11, so... I'd pay that (once I get that fro baby-sitting) to get a Red Jacket bottle. The lady at the desk as well as a customer I know have bottles to sell, I'll come back next week to see others she might have, and the other lady is an antiques dealer/pawn broker who forced her number and name on me as well as potential bottle-digging locations. Kind of odd, but friendly--overly so. Heh heh. She wants I should look for pottery for her, to trade bottles for me.

I was just twice told this is a Hutch. I am so excited!

Your bottle is considered a HUTCHINSON, but it did not use the HUTCHINSON style stopper. Yours used the BALTIMORE LOOP SEAL for its closure. Many companies used this style bottle. Might have been more sanitary and easier to clean these bottles for reuse when they had the loop seal. Here is an example of my favorite hutch with the loop seal bottle closure.[attachment=florida05.jpg]LETTERING IS HIGHLIGHTED WITH WHITE AND IS NOT ORIGINAL TO THE BOTTLES

First of all, it is but it isn't a Hutch? How's that work out? Secondly, I love the image on that one!

Question: Why are Hutchinsons so popular a collectible now?

 

[UncleBruce]

... it is but it isn't a Hutch? How's that work out?

Just my personal opinion is that since the bottle does not use a HUTCHINSON closure to seal the bottle it is not a hutch. That closure design is the key element. The bottle body may be in the style of the other, but if there is a Loop Seal lip... in reality it is not a hutch. That is just my opinion and I will continue to call them hutch style bottles.

I'll call it a Baltimore Loop that's half Hutch. [8|] Thank you, though, for further clarification on what it is.
