Wanted: 'picture' druggists bottles - 10/30/2009 1:56:05 AM    stephengray   Posts: 634 Joined: 9/23/2009 From: Oklahoma (live in Wyoming though) Status: offline Hello everybody, I collect picture, or slogan, druggists bottles and would like to see if the bottle collectors here could help me out.  I collect them from all over and I have some examples here to show what I want.  I started collecting these a couple of years ago and really like them.  They do not take up a lot of space and usually cost less than most other bottles as compared to sodas, bitters, etc....  I also collect Oklahoma bottles especially McAlester, North McAlester and South McAlester ones.  Please let me know what you have.  Even if you have a bottle that is not sale I would like a picture of it so that I know what is out there.  Thanks for your time. This Quaker Drug Company is from Seattle, Wash. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Stephen Gray Post #: 1

Has to be early 1900's to then. i'd love to know what that picture is supposed to be on the bottle. This one is 3.5" tall. < Message edited by ancientdigger69 -- 10/30/2009 2:34:26 AM > _____________________________ Wanted: Central Illinois (Peoria) and Philly bottles (in reply to stephengray) Post #: 7

I have found one like this before but sold it. I have always liked this design. It looks like it was a hand held mirror or a fan with the Druggist's initials on it.

Here's one with a drug dispensing paddle. I think that this design would be popular but I can't think of any others like it from around here.

This one is enough to make me want to collect medicines. It is a green drops for pain bottle from Milwaukee. The bottle is semi-rounded. Straight on the sides, rounded on the front and back. The entire front is  a picture. It features an asain man with a pony-tail mixing something at a table / counter. There is also a mortar and pestle in front of him, a stove with something cooking, some scales, a bunch of bottles and jars, a door, a thermometer?, some crocks on the floor, some kind of grinding thing-a-ma-jig, etc. . . The bottle is blue aqua. Two pictures coming. This first shows the shape and color. (in reply to blobbottlebob) Post #: 12
