A Chew of Jersey

[AntiqueMeds]

Found this J W CHEW druggist from BARNEGAT NJ.
Weird town name, possibly where Snookie is from?

Not what I collect. Put it for sale on the free bottle sales site.

A nice example of a med. I love the Jersey shore bottles. I've grown up on summers at the beach (Sea Isle, Cape May and OC) and seeing a bottle from anywhere along the coast brings up pictures of the way beach towns used to be [] Barnegate (now Barnegate Light) is in Ocean County I think? (memory) which is right in the middle of the state.

The name was changed a few times; starting with the original name of Brownsville in 1855, then to Barnegat City in 1881 then to Barnegate Light in the late 1950s.

I think Barnegat, NJ is what it's still called today. It's right near my Grandma's house. The town is full of antique shops. Unfortunately, on the day I visited all these shops, the pirates were in town...

And we wonder why people hate us Jersey dwellers...

The only day that poor town gets any visitors is on Pirate Day!

Hey Matt,

Can't have you persisting in this misconception. Snooki, she is such a pneumatic cultural ambassador, is originally a Chilean orphan, and grew up in Marlboro, New York. One can only imagine the uplift in civic pride there.

Here's a Jar of Dirt for Connor.

And as uncommon as it may be; the jugs as well. []

I hate that show so much. Why do people watch that BS?

I have no idea, my only guess is to make themselves feel better about their miserable existence. It is really hard to find something good on tv. Thank god for DVR and hundreds of channels.

"In 1948, Barnegat City was renamed as Barnegat Light. The motivations for this renaming were both to honor the legacy of the lighthouse (which was decommissioned four years earlier) and also to disambiguate itself from nearby Barnegat Township."

Just curious Matt, but what other seaside meds do you have in your collection?
