The small Lock Haven bottles are both medicine bottles from old local drug stores. I can't speak for Lock Haven, but I know embossed local druggists like that from Lewistown are IMPOSSIBLE to buy anywhere. They were almost always thrown away immediately when empty. The antique stores don't have them, they don't turn up in auctions and the dump diggers don't find them. Every one I have has come from deep in the privy pits. So, if you like local bottles, I would hang on to those. Great bottles. ~Jim
