    Colored locals added to the collection in 2010

    All the bottles in this photo were added to my "keeper collection" this past year, some have been featured in previous posts, some have not. While Woodard, Clark & Co is one of the most common Oregon druggists, these are some of the better examples.

    Before and after Warners experiment

    A while back my Dad dug a number of Warners Safe Cures out of the same hole, all with heavy patina and discoloration. I aquired one to use as a "practice bottle" while learning how to use my tumbler. I'll be the first to admit it seems to have come out almost unnaturally clean and sparkeling...
