U.S. Naval Pharmacy, other military bottles - 5/9/2008 5:29:41 PM    Wilkie   Posts: 29 Joined: 5/2/2008 From: Suisun City, CA Status: offline I have a small collection of military bottles, different sizes of the common "U.S. Naval Pharmacy" bottles and also many from the Naval Base in Vallejo, CA (probably most likely from a local store that just put Naval Pharmacy in their name.  I'm searching for any others, Naval, Marine, whatever may be out there.  Post #: 1
