Up for sale I have a original 1930's or early 40's Blatz Crowns Salesman Sample by Hutchinson.  There are 48 different Blatz beer and soda crowns in this salesman sample.  These are all cork lined caps and the blatz soda caps were made during prohibition.  The person I acquired this from told me his father worked for Hutchinson in the 1930's and 40's, and this was his sample book.  The crowns are set inside a leather bound booklet which has embossed on the front cover "Crowns by Hutchinson".   The booklet itself has some wear and tear and the snap cover is just about detached, but when you open this booklet up you just cannot believe what is inside.  There are 48 different Blatz beer and soda caps, and these are as close to mint as you will ever find.  They have been protected all these years by a fold over cloth that covers them.  Some of the caps almost appear to be identical, but then you notice some wording or something else that makes them different.  The Blatz soda caps are extraordinary and I am assuming the bottom two rows of crowns are all state crowns that were used on Blatz bottles going to Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc.  A few of them did not have names, just state seals, and included Georgia, Kentucky, Washington, etc.  Some of them I could not identify the symbol, but again I am sure it is a state symbol used on the Blatz bottles that were used in these states.  I have had these for a long time, and no matter how many collectors or historians that I talk to none have ever seen anything like this.  I don't like to use the word rare, as I think it is used to often in describing things that occasionally show up, but I am certain this deserves the stamp of "rare".  Weather you are a Blatz collector, soda collector, Hutchinson collector, or a collector of rare salesman samples, this is certainly a highlight to any collection.  I feel confident after all the research that I have done, that my price is very fair for something of this rarity.  If I do not sell it I will return it to my safety deposit box.   This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get something I can guarantee no one else has.  This will have to be sent out Registered Mail and fully insured, so I can only ship with in the US, no international sales.
