SHOW YOUR FAVORITE HUTCH!!!

Exceptionally so. I'm sure if he tried a more local deal--look for someone specifically in Red Jacket even-- he could have gotten more. After all, who doesn't want a local bottle?

I've been to Red Jacket &/or Calumet recently. These are easy to find in this town if you know where to look. LEON. P.S. Pic below of downtown Calumet/Red Jacket I took a few weeks ago.

Looks a lot like Grand Haven in there. When you say, ''...if you know where to look," do you mean antique stores and thrift shops (I also began collection books, especially targeting 1800s school books albeit I only have two so far as I'm very new at it. 1 thrift shop had one from the 1860s targeting grade-school grammar. I asked to see it, but it was falling apart so I had to pass.) Shame the place is so far from me, I'd like to visit it just for the buildings. It might compete with G.H.. Certainly my town's down town (As an attempt to bring Muskegon out of it's economic failure, the '60s to '90s was spent attacking the old to bring in the new--including demolishing older buildings not up to code, and replacing them with modern developments. Recently, they blew-up the Sappi paper mill--I do mean they blew it up. Thankfully, they didn't blow-up the brick building that went with it. But now they put lead, mercury, arsenic, and a whole slew of other toxins back into the air by disturbing contaminated soil, and it's back in the lake, and asbestos is flapping in the wind out of the wrecked, twisted metal structure as it is all hanging at odd angle, laying down, or twisted in pain screaming out to the world to end it. Asbestos, I am told, is why the blew it up. But with houses right across the street, and a lake as their backyard, was that really a good idea?)

I think my favorite is my Washington DC "M.T. BRIDWEILL" hutch. It's not colored, but it's got a cool harp on the back.

 

[Robby Raccoon]

That's a great one!

One of my all time Favorites. Faygo Hutch. LEON.

 

[Robby Raccoon]

Now that is awesome! One of my favorite brands.

 

[hemihampton]

Mine to, The cans are cool also. LEON.

 

[Robby Raccoon]

I never liked cans that much--unless they're yellow, orange, blue, or green. It's why I like the only can I ever found and kept. But it still sits up in the shed, so... Heh.

 

[hemihampton]

And what can was that?

 

[Robby Raccoon]

An Olympia Beer can--yellow--with a horseshoe and the saying "It's in the Water" on it. I think it is 1983, but I cannot recall--never photographed it. Stepped on it in the lake one day, let it float till I was heading back in to shore and decided to take it home. I do have one more can, actually. If my letter 'y' would work on this key board, I'd type more. But, it's 1990s and pretty far gone. Nice piece though, to sit up in the shed forgotten. Fresca I think it is.
