E. L. Husting Company scripted crowns Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Here is a crown that turns up once in awhile. The lighter bottles are probably sodas while the amber may be a beer bottle. They are typically embossed "PROPERTY OF E. L. HUSTING CO. CONTENTS 7 FL. OZ. MILWAUKEE, WIS." with an "H" on the bottom. The amber beer bottle has "9 LIQ. OZ." and does not say "PROPERTY OF".  I have seen them with different ounces like 8 & 1/2. These bottles can be crude with thick bottoms, bubbles, and swirls of light color in the glass. They may have contained coca-cola, as the Husting Company was bottling coke as early as 1906. I saw an eBay listing that claimed that the scripted coke bottle (which looks similar and is now listed in the gallery) was the fourth style of bottle that historically contained coca-cola.
