"Saving The Past So It Has A Future"
love the fort wayne hutch im 30 mins from there would love to find one from thereAwww. That all? [8D]http://hutchbook.com/Bottle Directo...nd_Hutches=Find+Hutchinsons&Source=AttributesThere's the link to this "FORT WAYNE / J.F. FREMION / BOTTLING WORKS" bottle done by A.B. Co. which came into play around 1905. It is more Root green than aqua, has "J. F. F. / 1 4 8 4 / 1" on the bottom and "A. B. Co." on the back heel. It has several bubbles--one huge one I love. It's labeled as Rare on Hutchbook, which for those who don't know that means less than 10 known. The base has the 4-digit number embossed twice, which I don't know if you can see its ghostly image. American Bottle Co. seemed to have that issue a lot.
So I'm in the antique store, and the bottle I was going to get is gone. I go back to this bottle, look at it again and look at the $19 sticker. I walk around with it, the thought, Go for the Hutch, stuck in my mind. So, I do. There's a Bitters I might go back for.
I get up to the register and ask, "Would you be willing to come down on this?"
She, with bottle in hand, says, "Well, I don't know. I think I can do 25% off, to 14.50. Then I can go to 10."
So I'm thinking, Well, I didn't have to say much. I had hoped to get it for 15.
And we continue speaking, onto the Hutch.
