Since I've been seeing all of the Patterson NJ items Jim has been collecting and sharing with us, I've started looking for local items myself. Not only bottle go withs, but anything that has my hometown name on it. So this weekend, in between ball games and work, I stopped at two garage sales and scored a dose cup from a local druggists who was in business during the late 1800's and a complimentary plate from a jeweler who lost it all in a St Patties Day fire in 1903. The plate is cool, has an Indian Chief, Broken Arm something, Soiux Chief. There's a pic of the dose cup, Furbeck and Van Auken Druggist, Gloversville, NY. Pic of the plate will come later. But really, I want to thank Jim, epackage, for kickin' me back to reality and seeing all the items that are out there besides just bottles. And I'm sure my wife will be even happier now that I'll be bringing home more goodies. Mark
