ANNISTON STEAM BOTTLING WORKS HUTCH

[danboone]

Anyone venture a guess as to the rarity/value of an Anniston Steam bottling works hutch? This is an ice blue, 7 1/2" tall bottle embossed 'Anniston Steam Bottling Works, Anniston, Ala.' in a tombstone slugplate. Has a mug base bottom. Bottle is in NM condition. Thanks!

That Anniston Hutch is a hard one to get.

The company operated 1884-1913 and your Hutch is probably 1890's.

Hi, celerycola,
Would you have any idea what a "N. SCHWARTZ BOTTLING WORKS, ELDORADO, ILL." Hutch soda bottle would be worth? Thanks, Brassgemini

I couldn't even guess about an IL bottle. You should start a new thread so the midwest collectors see it.
