R.E. White S.F. Apothecaries - 11/24/2002 10:19:55 PM    Ken   Posts: 10 Joined: 11/7/2002 Status: offline Hi Group, I' m looking for information on an Druggst bottle and a Chicago bottle. The San Francisco is clear and embossed " R.E. White Apothecaries Hayes & Cough S.F." the other is an unusual Lt. Green bottle Conical in shape that looks like a master ink or some kind of food bottle Embossed " H. Wichert Chicago" around the base. They appear to be from about 1890 which is the age of the other' s that I dug today. Thank' s Ken Post #: 1

I' m not up on California bottles too much except for west coast whiskies. I' ll bet alot of bottles were destroyed or buried when they rebuilt that area. I was on market street some years ago when they were building a high rise, they were coming up with trash and debris from 20 feet down. Unfortunately I could not dig :-( (in reply to Ken) Post #: 3

Sole Agent' s. It came out mint next to two broken rick rack' s about four years ago. Still finding the broken ones in the area. Sold it for $2800.00 it went higher after that. I don' t know where it is now. They are beautiful bottles. Ken (in reply to Ken) Post #: 5

I have dug alot of Hotalling pieces around the Sound though. the last thing I dug was a Brandy with the double collar in amber which is pretty scarce. Unfortuntley it had a few problem' s. If I dig anything else I' ll let you know, but I think the odd' s of finding anything that exceptional of a bottle again are slim. Ken (in reply to Guest) Post #: 7
