Welcome to SeattleHistoryCompany.com, the primary communications vehicle for
disseminating information about the Hutchinson Bottle Directory initiative.
Navigate directly to other pages via the buttons at the left, or click on the
underlined, bright blue hot links, and check out the:
- Hutchinson Bottle Directory Updates (updated 04-30-08) to track
progress on the HutchBook initiative (all previous updates remain posted);
- HBCA page (updated 05-01-08) for the latest information about the
Hutchinson Bottle Collectors' Association and the continually updated
Hutchinson specialists and HBCA membership rosters;
- Hutchinson Bottle Sales Guide (updated 12-29-07), now expanded to
include illustrations of several non-Hutchinson closures;
- Can You Identify These Unknown Hutchinsons? page (updated 05-14-08)
to tie the remaining unidentified mavericks to specific bottlers and towns;
