New Sacramento Druggists - 8/25/2009 12:29:49 AM    CanYaDigIt Posts: 989 Joined: 2/5/2009 From: Back In Sac, CA Status: offline Here's my ever growing collection of Sacramento meds.  Some I've posted before, but I think there's 8 new ones and some other various California meds.  For now all the Sacramento's fit in this one display with a couple of space fillers. 3 Boston Drug Store's 2 R.E. Googing's 4 Walther & Bell's.  The one with the larger flared lip is the odd one out.  Larger lip and an M on the base. Tufts & Spieker's Apothecary's and a Chemist Still my favorite, maybe second to the Larger Gogings. Just some various other California meds that found their way to me too. < Message edited by CanYaDigIt -- 8/25/2009 12:33:34 AM > _____________________________ Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says "Don't you see" Post #: 1

RE: New Sacramento Druggists - 8/25/2009 1:22:13 PM    CanYaDigIt Posts: 989 Joined: 2/5/2009 From: Back In Sac, CA Status: offline Thanks for asking Tim.  I knew someone would notice.  Just a couple little space fillers. This was a buck find at the flea market.  I could think of a hundred vulgar jokes to go along with it.  I've seen the Blown In The USA ones, but never this one. This was a freebie at the same flea market.  I have no idea about it, but it and the little Woodland bottle fill the space for that other Walther & Bell nicely. _____________________________ Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says "Don't you see" (in reply to CanYaDigIt) Post #: 6

RE: New Sacramento Druggists - 8/25/2009 5:01:57 PM    CALDIGR2 Posts: 2162 Joined: 6/20/2005 Status: online Nice drug stores. We dig them fairly often, especially in TC pits. On Sunday, we turned up a couple round Dohertys and an early H. Bowman. Be on the lookout, both the square Boston and Walther & Bell pharmacys come in deep cobalt. The early Gogings with the wide mouth also come in flint, amber and cobalt. In my recently dug pile I have a 5 1/2" clear square H.C. Kirk with mortar, pestle and belt. _____________________________ Dig no privy before it's time. (in reply to CanYaDigIt) Post #: 7

RE: New Sacramento Druggists - 8/25/2009 8:47:51 PM    CanYaDigIt Posts: 989 Joined: 2/5/2009 From: Back In Sac, CA Status: offline Thanks Mike.  I sure would love to get some color in there, so finding an amber or cobalt would be awesome.  I saw that green Affleck that Dean got from you.  Man that one's pretty.  I think I saw that Kirk that you posted in a different thread too.  I'd love to do some digging with you if the occasion ever arises.  It would be nice to have one or more in my collection that I actually dug myself.   _____________________________ Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says "Don't you see" (in reply to CALDIGR2) Post #: 8

Thanks.  It really hasn't taken too long to get em.  I just keep a vigilant eye out. Here's a couple more I just got today.  This one is just a larger version of one I already had.  I've got several with the same base embossing, but most are barely readable so it's nice to have one that's nice and strong.  (I rushed so the pics aren't that good) base This is a goodie.  My third different Gogings.  All say something different too which I like.  Their not just size variations.  A nice little apothecary. _____________________________ Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says "Don't you see" (in reply to alcapone1130) Post #: 10

RE: New Sacramento Druggists - 9/3/2009 9:54:57 AM    Lordbud   Posts: 2247 Joined: 6/16/2005 From: San Jose Status: offline Nice bottles -- there are so many shape, embossing and color variants with each druggist one can collect for years and still find something new to add to the collection. I've got a couple-three Hiram Pond bottles. For what was a small town Hollister produced a good number of druggists, flasks and sodas. < Message edited by Lordbud -- 9/3/2009 9:56:25 AM > _____________________________ Jason San Francisco Bay Area bottles and go-withs.

RE: New Sacramento Druggists - 9/3/2009 3:48:11 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 3876 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline Very nice collection.  It's got to be more than a coincidence that many names familiar on Baltimore bottles seem also to be on Sacramento and San Francisco? bottles.  The Brack med I just dug has the same three stars, letter, and U.S.A. but also W.T. & CO. so it's a Whitall Tatum made bottle.  _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back....

RE: New Sacramento Druggists - 10/2/2009 1:13:41 AM    CanYaDigIt Posts: 989 Joined: 2/5/2009 From: Back In Sac, CA Status: offline Finally got around to getting these posted.  Got most at the Downieville show. This guys huge at 8 1/4" tall.  Still needs to be cleaned. Traded for this one with Ron (ktbi).  Thanks again. This one dwarfed the others I had! See! Another big one. See!  I'm getting a smaller one next week.  Can't wait. This one has a great shape and great embossing.  All around cool bottle. See! Has to add new shelves of course.  The top two are all Sacramento.  The lower one is other California cities and towns.   _____________________________ Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says "Don't you see" (in reply to CanYaDigIt) Post #: 17
