Soda Bottle, Hutchinson Closure, Blob Top, Circa 1880, Aqua, H. Tewes College Point LI, Collectible
A great aqua soda bottle from College Point LI. The bottle dates from circa 1880 and has it's Hutchinson closure intact. It is aqua in color and the embossing on it states: H. TEWES COLLEGE POINT LI. This bottle is hand blown into a mold with a smooth attached bottom and applied top. (also known as a blob top)
Charles G. Hutchinson invented and patented the Hutchinson Stopper in 1879 as a replacement for cork bottle stoppers which were commonly being used. His invention employed a wire spring attached to a rubber seal.
College Point is a working-middle-class neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens.
Size:
6 1/2 inches in height
2 1/2 inch in diameter
This bottle is about 135 years old but is in very good condition. The bubbles in the glass are from the manufacturing process and the metal stopper gives the bottle character as well as dates it. There are rub marks and a couple of small chips on the blob top
What a wonderful gift for a collector or to add to your own collection.
