Re: RE: Wanted: 'picture' druggists bottles
I was surprised to see one bottle with such a graphic, and doubly surprised to see there are two different druggists using it! I still do not know exactly what the thing is (Devil? Indian?). When I looked at yours I saw a possible connection. Both...
Shinn and Sellers in Pittsburg were listed as selling it in the June 15 and Aug 6, 1836 Daily Pittsburg Gazette.
Also, I see in the Nashville Union and American (July & August 1853) an ad indicating that there are 100 boxes of Montague’s Balm for the Teeth left (with a number of other...
I finally got around to doing some research on this bottle, or what’s left of it. I believe the bottle was made for Dr. A. Kendall of New Orleans. You can read what I found here. Has anyone seen a whole one?
Here are some other tiny bottles I forgot I had.
The tall one is a druggist, probably a 1/2 oz size. It is 2 7/8" tall and embossed:
P. A. RYAN / DRUGGIST / (mortor & pestle) / REDWOOD CITY / CAL.
The teal colored one is an ink, or perfume, and is 1 9/16" tall. It is now the...
The little bottle in the center is embossed
SOZODONT // FOR THE / TEETH / AND BREATH // SOZODONT
It did not hold much, but it still has some content... maybe I should try it.
Here is a close up of it and some others. The amber is about 1 7/8" Early on I dug a little cache of them and...
I do not have many bottles from Texas, but I have managed to get some nice ones. You can see three of my druggists at Peachridge on the Daily Dose - August 2013 page under the Sunday, 25 August 2013 heading. However, I love to do bottle research no matter what type or location.
I have been helping Ferdinand Mayer at Peachridge Glass with some research on the Texas Tonic bottle. I had first heard of the bottle when a picture was posted to my post at Antique-Bottle.net “What cities are known to have pontiled druggist bottles?†As I collect early New Orleans...
Good question. I have always hesitated to call a "drug co" bottle a druggist. It sounds too much like a medicine manufacturer. However some "drug co" bottle are in traditional shaped druggist bottles and I tend not have a problem with them. Recently I picked up an amber Idaho "drug co"...
I assume you were replying to me and not "Bill". I would love to hear what Idaho druggist have graphics, are in color, or are marked IT (Idaho territory). I recently broke down and bought an amber Idaho "Drug Co" bottle. I usually just look for "druggist", "pharmacist", "apothecary" or...
I did a posting asking to see people's largest and smallest bottles. You can see a close up of my SULTAN DRUG CO. Below is another view of the SULTAN with my biggest bottle.
Here is another post with incredibly small bottles.
Lastly here is a post that shows possible bottles sizes for...
I have always liked sets of druggist bottles. It is good to see what possible sizes might exist. I have one set from Freeburg Illinois with 8 different sizes. Looks like I should keep looking for some more! My favorite set is from the Barclay drugstore in Cairo Illinois. All but the...
