I do have one bottle that was from the pharmacy he worked in as a kid.  He was born in 1924 and started working (sweeping floors and then soda jerk) at the age of 10 so I know it is a pretty old bottle.  It still has a partial prescription lable on it that says the name of the pharmacy in Tallapoosa, Ga.  The phone number at that time was 50! Will try to get a picture on in the next day or so. Sorry to ramble but wanted you to know the background.  I may have some others still in boxes. Have a good one. Bambi (in reply to madman) Post #: 4
