First Hutch Bottle…by mistake.
I found a couple of 6 rare 5 Centa bottles here in N. GA at a bottle dump off the side of a mountain a couple months back. Thinking there may be more, I went back last weekend and I found my first Hutchison bottle. I know more about astrophysics than Hutch bottles. That’s where you fine people come in. I have attached pics. The bottom of bottle has “The Liquid” inside of a diamond. The bottom edge of the bottle says M.B. & G. CO. 33. On the side of the bottle is a circle with no lettering. I want to know everything about it basically.

Thanks for posting! I love the base marking, "The Liquid"
The MB & G Co marking is for Massillon Bottle and Glass Co. of Massillon, OH and was in business from 1900 to 1904. This is from the book, Bottle Makers and Their Marks. Here is a rare case of dating a bottle with a high degree of accuracy.
You'll probably want to check out hutchbook.com - I did a search for base marking = "The Liquid" and found this: http://hutchbook.com/Bottle%20Directory/HutchSearchResults.aspx?Primary_Name=&Manufacturer=&City=&Color=&County=&Mold_Type=&State=&Plate_Type=&Territory=&Pictures=&Region=&Start_Height=&End_Height=&Country=&Start_Width=&End_Width=&Bottle_Number=&Start_Marked_Year=&End_Marked_Year=&Sub_Categories=&Shape=&All_Embossing=&Rarity=&Front_Embossing=&Added=&Back_Embossing=&Updated=&Base_Embossing=The+Liquid&Comments=&Find_Hutches=Find+Hutchinsons&Source=Attributes
which turned up a number of examples also marked MB &G Co
As for value, it is in great condition but is missing something critical: the name and location of the bottler. That makes it generic and not particularly desirable from a collector point of view.
Keep on searching!
