New acquisitions - 11/13/2008 10:59:47 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 1727 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline Here's some new stuff I've added to my eclectic collection.  As a dump digger who never specialized much I love all types of bottles and my collection represents a little of everything but unfortunately not too much high end stuff.  I don't buy much and value bottles I've dug over bought ones, but lately have bought some stuff for cheap that fits into the few catagories I'm working on.  Fleabay is good for that and I've come to realize that I should pick up what I like as I may never, ever dig some of this stuff. Here's an Emerson's Pharmacy bottle from Baltimore that somehow is not listed in the Baltimore book next to a JVD Stewart that I already had.  I'm hoping its related to Issac E. Emerson of Bromo Seltzer fame.  I'm working on a good collection of color varients of those.  I find it interesting that the frame design is the same on these two bottles but one was made by Whitall Tatum and the other by C.L.G. Co. Attachment (1) _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back.... Post #: 1

Richardson & Son druggist bottles from Bel Air, Md my hometown growing up.  I used to buy comic books in this store.

RE: New acquisitions - 11/13/2008 11:06:16 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 1727 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline The little gill milk in the middle I just got and again not listed in the Baltimore book.  On the left is the typical gill you find from Fairfield Farms Western Maryland Dairy from about 1932.  It's hard to see but the Bowman's Pastuerized Products has two script F's for Fairfield Farms and this earlier birdcage varient is from about 1919. The tall SCA one that I've posted before is a narrow pint from Philly I bought this year at the Lewes Delaware show.

RE: New acquisitions - 11/13/2008 11:18:38 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 1727 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline Paid a bit more for this one but I like these big quarts from York, Pa.  They are over ten inches tall and already are SCA or have the potential if I wanted.  The newest one is the second from the right and has some product stains to clean out yet.  Most of these were whisky but this is more of a med.  Some unanswered questions are who made these quarts, no markings on the base but all were probably from the same manufacturer.  The necks are all finished a little different and note the new one has no ring.

Might have tasted awful but I wish I could take a slug Attachment (1) < Message edited by cobaltbot -- 11/13/2008 11:21:15 PM > _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back....

RE: New acquisitions - 11/19/2008 11:58:11 AM    Lordbud   Posts: 309 Joined: 6/16/2005 From: San Jose Status: offline In the world of ebay, rare can mean valuable -- even with a still-dirty bottle with a large chip (relative to the size of the bottle).  Check out this picture I. N. Adams Druggist Mayfield, Cal.: I did bid a modest (non-winning) amount, but I have two larger, clean, no chip examples. Ebay's new rule means you can't even tell who won a given item. Winning bid:US $74.21 Attachment (1) < Message edited by Lordbud -- 11/19/2008 12:00:36 PM > (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 10
