Antique HARTLEB & CHELTRA BATH MAINE Hutchinson Bottle Aqua Blue 1880’s Rare:
$79.95
Up for sale/sale is a beautiful, authentic antique Hutchinson-style soda or mineral water bottle from Bath, Maine. I estimate it’s manufacture back to the late 19th century (circa 1880s–1890s), this particular bottle features an incredibly crisp and deep slug-plate embossing. The front embossing reads “HARTLEB & CHELTRA" “TRADE H&C MARK" (within a decorative shield)"BATH, ME." The bottle seems to have been blown in a rich, crisp aqua-green glass with a natural “whittle mark" surface. It had character and seed bubbles throughout. It features a heavy, thick blob top finish originally intended for a Hutchinson style stopper or wire cork setup. The base is completely smooth and un-marked, typical for early regional New England glass houses.Condition is very good to excellent with brilliant color clarity, in some light it seems aqua, sometimes green, sometimes blue. Seems to be a perfect bottle for collectors of Maine maritime history, local town merchants, or 19th-century utility glass. It will be wrapped securely in heavy bubble wrap and shipped in a sturdy box to ensure safe arrival. Related Items:
