Hello Britt,

Welcome to A-BN, and thanks for bringing the Hutchinsons. It would most likely help to get some information if you were to detail the embossing on those guys. Is the one on the right from Durango, Mexico? What did you trade for them?

The one on the left has a decidedly Jimmy Neutron cast to it.

"...in 1879, Charles G. Hutchinson, the son of a prominent Chicago bottler invented a spring-type internal bottle closure known as the "Hutchinson Stopper" whose popularity during the period made it almost a standard. In fact, so many were used chat the bottles produced during the years to follow are referred to as "Hutchinson Bottles".

Stoppered bottles were still being used by some small American companies as late as the 1920's, but laws restricting their use because they were unsanitary, brought an end to an exciting era in bottling." From.

Welcome Fuller,
Surfaceone is correct. Your hutch (at left) has likely been irradiated to get it to turn that dark purple color. I am also not sure that hutchinson bottles weren't used longer in Mexico. You might need to follow up on the history of the company invloved to see when they operated. Best of luck collecting.
