Being from a small PA town myself, I know how tough they can be to locate. That makes them even sweeter.  ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to madman) Post #: 4

RE: new local pharms - 7/6/2010 8:40:11 AM    Lordbud   Posts: 2246 Joined: 6/16/2005 From: San Jose Status: offline Nice additions indeed. Local pharmacies can sometimes be pretty common, but more often than not a local druggist will be known by only a handful of examples. We've had some really interesting threads on here in the past featuring the locals from various collections. _____________________________ Jason San Francisco Bay Area bottles and go-withs.

RE: new local pharms - 7/6/2010 8:04:46 PM    Oldtimer Posts: 2508 Joined: 5/13/2004 From: Effingham NH. Where else? Status: offline Small state and local pharmacy bottles are exploding in popularity. By small state, I mean a state small enough to collect pharms from state-wide towns, like NH and Vt. and Rhode Island...where the huge states like Penn and Texas seem to support the "local" collections. I know NH pharms ALWAYS sell on Ebay. Even the "common" stuff. BTW, Nice bottles!

RE: new local pharms - 7/10/2010 8:38:52 AM    houseman   Posts: 125 Joined: 7/22/2006 From: Palmerton, Pa. Status: offline I have a couple from the Milford/Port Jervis area. Nothing great though...a couple milk bottles from the Model Farm in Milford, a hutch and crown top from Port Jervis, and a neat squat-type crown from Milford (JS Rupp, I believe). I stopped trying to collect that area and focused on the Stroudsburg area after a year or so but I've always noted Milford bottles I've seen around. There haven't been all that many! _____________________________ Always looking for bottles from Monroe County and eastern Carbon County PA. (in reply to slag pile digger) Post #: 10

RE: new local pharms - 7/10/2010 2:42:28 PM    slag pile digger   Posts: 835 Joined: 3/24/2010 From: SHOHOLA, PA Status: offline Houseman,             I know a local who has over 300 different Port Jervis bottles and I'd say  maybe 50 or more different Milford bottles. It is an awesome collection, to say the least!! i have a few of each town and am always looking to expand my collection. If you ever want to part with them I,d love to take a look!!  Happy Collecting !!! Michael _____________________________ Shohola, Pennsylvania bottles WANTED!!! (port jervis, NY too!)

RE: new local pharms - 7/12/2010 7:13:37 PM    houseman   Posts: 125 Joined: 7/22/2006 From: Palmerton, Pa. Status: offline That must be an amazing collection! I didn't even know there were 50 different Milford bottles. I'd happily trade any or all of the ones I have for something I need from my area. The bottles are a Model Farm quart and half pint (swore I had a pint but I can't find it), a Rupp squatty type clear crown top, a Gumauer (I think) hutch from Port Jervis and a dark amber tooled crown top from the Deer Park Brewery in Port Jervis. Do you ever come across anything from out my way in Monroe County? _____________________________ Always looking for bottles from Monroe County and eastern Carbon County PA.
