ANTIQUE M B & G CO BUTLER PA AQUA HUTCHINSON SODA BOTTLE UNITED STATES BOTTLING

Description

For your consideration I am pleased to offer this rare, antique Hutchinson blob top soda bottle from the United States Bottling Co., Butler, PA. The website Hutchbook.com lists this bottle as a scarce example (less than 100 recorded). This bottle stands 7" tall, and is in about 98% clean condition. There is an area of chipping at the top rim, but no other chips or cracks are present, and no heavy staining or residues inside or out. It has nice embossing, and is marked on the front; "United States Bottling Co, Butler, PA", and also "Registered" near the base. The backside is marked at the base; "This Bottle is Never Sold", and "M B & G Co." below. I have been informed by another collector that M B & G Co. stands for the Massillon Bottle & Glass Company, which operated for only three years, from 1901-1904. This is a great example of a hard to find Hutchinson, and will be a great addition to any collection!
