New arrivals...

[epackage]

My two new arrivals are here and I'm very happy to add them, the newbs are the two crowntops. The 'Crutch' is dated 1910 and I put it's 1911 hutch brother next to it, and the amber crown is dated 1909 and I have placed it's 1910 blob brother next to it. I have never seen another amber Boyle and I love that it's a crowntop, the first 'clear' crown doesn't appear until 1911. This is also the first time I've seen this transitional 'crown hutch' and just like the other newb I like the fact that it falls in between the time he was using regular hutches up until 1912.

You should do a video and show all of your bottles you have displayed. I bet your house is PACKED!

Packed in a good way! I didn't mean that negative. []

Hey Jim: As an earlier poster noted: nice progression with the embossing being carried over from older styles to newer ones. This helps all of use to understand better old bottles in general. That's one of the true powers of local specialty collections! Cheers, Mate!

I agree with all, or at least most, of the above. I am still amazed at the fact that they actually DATED their bottles. That, to me, is an OUTRAGEOUS idea. It sure helps us positively date stuff doesn't it? When I get to heaven I will thank those guys, if they made it. []

I will thank you Jim for sharing your finds / gets with us.
