The “hutchinson era” lasted from 1879 until just before world war I. hutchinson’s patent spring stopper is second only to painter’s crown closure in terms of total industry impact. - See more at: http://www.urbanremainschicago.com/mid-nineteenth-century-intact-chicago-privy-dug-deep-blue-aqua-glass-mineral-or-soda-water-bottle-fabricated-by-w-h-h-company-chcago-il.html#sthash.Sqkozhf2.dpuf
