Beers & meds - 10/7/2009 9:18:09 PM    #1twin   Posts: 751 Joined: 5/25/2006 From: Biloxi Ms Status: offline These are my take home picks from our last dig. I can not find any info on the Central Brewing Co. New York bottle, with a picture of a horse head being held by the reigns. The other beer is a Wacker & Birk Chicago and the meds are KATZ & BESTOFF PHARMACISTS NEW ORLEANS and BELL-ANNS for INDEGESTION (brown bottle) from Orangeburg, New York. The only listing for the New Orleans bottle was a cobalt one. Any information on the Central Brewing Co. beer is greatly appreciated. Happy digging,  Marvin Attachment (1) Post #: 1

My bottle has no prohibition wording on it so it has to date back to the 20's according to the article.  Thanks again and happy digging.   Marvin < Message edited by #1twin -- 10/8/2009 12:57:34 PM > (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 3

I love druggist bottles! _____________________________ Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest.
