I went to see my best collector friend this weekend, and managed to get a couple really nice bottles from him. The Cherokee med from Galveston is the only undamaged example that any of us has seen to date. The only other example to ever come up was posted on this site, but it is badly broken. The IXL Sarsaparilla looks a lot like the Morley's sassy from St. Louis, but it is embossed "IXL Sarsaparilla & Potassium Iodide Dr. R. Cotter Houston TEX.". Dr. Richard Cannon owned one of these too, but this one came from Bill Agee's collection. There is one more that came across ebay a few years back. The amber Tobin's bottle is from Austin Texas. I have a small clear one, and there is a large clear one in the same mold as this one. Both of those are rare, but this is the only amber one I have come across to date.
It is was a nice day getting to see the Texas country side, old friends, great bottles and even got to bring a few home with me. Thanks for looking guys!
