    Hometown bottle with my own initials, does it get any better?

    Well, I don't think it can get any better than finding this rare bottle from my hometown, Petaluma, CA!Especially since the logo is SL, my initials! (actually LS for Louis Schmidt)Oh wait, the topper too! Capitol Bottling Works was in effect until 1915, not a stone's throw away from my house...

    New additions: Owl Drug Witch-Hazel CA, William Warner & Co, and Atwood's Jaundice Bitters

    Just scored these! My first bottles with labels! And the most purple bottle I have. Owl Drug- 10.75" tall x ~3" wide, has the dried extract in it and on it... Nice big embossed logo on back. The bottle is in real good shape except for a sort of stress crack on the lip (pic), no chunks missing...

    The bottle has that pearly residue on it, but it also appears to be slightly purple.How do you tell if it's irradiated or not? These additional pics show the color as well as the chip in the base. Hopefully the chip doesn't kill the value too bad...

    City Drug Store Redwood City Will Frisbie

    Hello,I got this bottle today, and couldn't seem to find any info on it or Will Frisbie (WF logo), but that's the reason I got it was because it had a cool embossed logo and a local city name. I did see some examples of Frisbie & Truman druggist bottles, but not sure if they were related to this...

    Hello,Got this the other day, and couldn't find any examples with S.F. and Portland on it like this. Just curious if it's a common bottle or not? Roughly 3 1/4" tall x 1" wide. It does have a little chip on the lip, but that doesn't bother me so much... Thanks!
