Hutchinson style bottle with gravity stopper, tooled top. The bottle has embossed lettering, white in color. The bottle's heavy glass is dark aqua in color. The glass is somewhat crude, with bubbles and swirl marks cast into it. There is no maker's mark on the base. These bottles were designed and patented by William Roorbach in 1885. Henry Busch, born in Prussia, first opened his saloon in 1878, and started the "Winnemucca Bottling works in 1882. He later opened a hotel in 1887. He brought in a partner to help with the soda business in 1888, named C.D. McKay, to whom he later sold the bottling works. This why these later bottles read "& Co." Mint condition. -60225
