Each case measures 72 inches wide, 84 inches tall , 17 inches deep. I found a local shipping company near the original owner's house in Lincoln Nebraska who boxed them up, wrapped the glass, and stored them until the next available truck headed for Texas.
Very nice indeed. Believe it or not, our first bottle - the one that got me and little brother hooked on bottles forever- was a big Warners (animal?) Safe Cure that washed out of a gully after a big rain storm in 1973. You can never have too many Warners !
Thanks. I'm asking $300 for the pair , which is what I paid for them 5 or 6 years ago. Cost me another $400 to ship them from Nebraska to Texas but if you dig around you might find a way to do it cheaper. Full disclosure : they are not in perfect condition , especially the one on the left...
Hi Folks,I bought these display cases 5 or 6 years ago from a beer stein collector in Nebraska and had them shipped to Texas with plans to restore them and use them to display my bottles. They were custom built many years ago by the Apex Store Fixture Co in NYC. They were in need of some TLC...
It was nice seeing you guys at the show. I would definitely be interested in the another show in Palestine, so keep up us posted. That was a very nice writeup that Ferdinand posted on his Peachridge site. Cheers,

Hi Points, welcome to the forum. I would say the bottle on the left dates to the 1880's . Apparently a lot of these bottles come from dumps in the Panama Canal Zone. I would assume from the contruction zone dumps during the failed french attempt, not the later American effort. You see the...
Great collection there Texasdigger ! Keep at it and you'll end up with the best collection of Texas pharmacies around - not something you can build off Ebay easily either. What's with all the Cincinnati bottles coming out of a Texas dump - evidence of an immigration pattern ?
