It surprises me too. I can not find a good explanation for it. An 1896 Pharmaceutical ERA map of the number of druggists per state showed the following...
256 in WV
276 in OR
282 in WA
286 in SC
286 in SD
288 in FL
To compare...
50 in NM
52 in AZ
I admit that FL, SD, WA...
Hey. I need only one more embossed dose glass to complete a 50 state collection. I've found 49 states and only have South Carolina to go. Frustrating, because I just live next door in Georgia. Please help! Willing to pay big bucks or have many dose glasses to trade (from other states) and...
CanYa',
Check out my post in the PRIZED POSSESSION section, under the title "Teal Colored Dose Glass + Hawaii + Alaska" Colored glass dose glasses are super rare, but there are a couple pictured there.
Thanks
I am still looking for a AZ, UT and SC embossed dose glass to finish a 50 state embossed dose glass collection. I am so close!! Always looking for other interesting embossed advertising medicine glasses. Paying top dollar.
Thanks,

Poison_US,
I was born and raised in Sav'h myself (BC class of 1981), but moved to Brunswick in 1988. My parents are still in Sav'h. The city does have a rich history. The only three dose glasses that I know from there are from Solomons, Dr. Ulmer and W.L. Richardson (glass dose spoon)...
IBD,
I have seen both of the Columbus, IN dose glasses come up for sale on ebay in the past few years, but don't own one myself. Those are the only Columbus, IN glasses that I know of. The only extra IN glass that I have are a couple from Indianapolis and one from Warsaw.
The L.H...
GuntherHess,
I've seen that etched Victor Syrup dose glass several times on eBay, but only recently noticed that there were different cities etched on the glass (so much for being observant). Wonder how many different cities could be found?

Stephen,
Thanks for asking. Actually, I am now down to needing only THREE!! I was recently offered a Wyoming dose glass from a fellow collector. It is embossed-- FERRIS-MAGHEE DRUG CO. / RAWLINS, WYO.
I found lots a great info about the store and its owner. Check out the info and...

Wow! $6 is a bargain. Somebody should jump on that! Any Peoria collectors out there?
The Warner glass is what I call a dose cap. It was the top to a medicine bottle. There are several variants of it, some measure in TEA and DESSERTspoonful, some in HEAPING TEASPOONFUL...
Sam - Nice ones! Thanks for adding the picture. I really like THE HEART CURE CO. glass, and female druggists are always a rare find. Do any of the Maine dose glasses that you know of have pictures embossed (logos, mortars, etc)? I do have one ME glass that is on my list of traders. It is...
Glassman - can't say that I own all of the Jacobs glasses myself, yet. I know that I still need the "Compliments of" variant and one of the others that I have is not in the best of condition.
Capsoda - Other than my 50 state collection, I am trying to find embossed glasses from GA (my...
'package,
Thanks for adding the pictures. I am not so big on etched dose glasses like the first two SC glasses, but I really want to find that embossed Columbia, SC glass from Dr. Oliveros. Ditto, for the embossed UT and AZ glasses. Gotta get me one of each!!! That Utah glasses is top...
My other favorite colored embossed dose glass is from Camden, NJ and is embossed SPARKS PERFECT HEALTH / FOR / KIDNEY / AND LIVER / DISEASES, but is not as rare as the teal glass from IL.
Glass man,
You might wanna sit down for this news, but I know of at least FOUR different embossed Jacobs Pharmacy dose glass variants. Three are the larger sized (2&1/4 inches tall) dose glasses, which measure up to 2 tablespoonfuls. One is the smaller (1&7/8 inches tall), which measures...
'package,
Thanks for asking. No, not yet. Still need three states in order to have a complete 50 state collection... AZ, UT and SC. Anybody care to help me out? [:D]
Do you live in NJ? I hear that there is an Atlantic City, NJ dose glass with the Jersey Devil embossed on the...
