J.A. Muthersbough Druggist Lewistown, PA. I like the fancy oval on this one. This one came from the 1890s layer of a pit. I found a listing for a druggist named Jacob Muthersbough in 1902. Further research revealed that he graduated from pharmacal college in Philadelphia in 1874.

Dr. A.J. Atkinson Druggist Lewistown, PA. Dr. Atkinson was a well-known doctor for many years. These bottles date in the 1870s-1880s, and were made by Whitall-Tatum Co. They are one of the more plentiful Lewistown druggists, I actually know of maybe a half dozen to exist [
].

Here is my favorite Lewistown druggist bottle. This is the only known example of the only type of Lewistown embossed citrate bottle. Martin's Citrate Of Magnesia Lewistown, PA. It has some damage (bruise & crack), but I might never get another one. I pulled this from the same pit as the big Martin's Pharmacy druggist, so it was likely a product of Andrew Martin as well.

Sorry for the poor picture quality on some of these, but I hope you enjoy them. They are one of my favorite things to dig. After hundreds of junk slickers, it's a treat to find one of these. It just doesn't happen very often.
Diggers, while you're throwing out those dozens of 1890s slickers, make sure to check them close. I found one of the Dr. R. Martin & Son bottles when we were FILLING the pit. It was in the fill pile with some similarly sized slickers [&:]. Yes, I apologized to it []. I'm just glad I have the habit of double-checking everything. ~Jim

Nice Druggist Jim! Nice pix to. Like I said before I give you guys your props! Your some diggin fools! [8D] As I was telling you we have three lined up, two 1850s and a 90s one is probed and the other we have to probe, we are slow when it comes to hooking up and starting to dig, but its all worth it in the end. Good luck on your next stonies.Rick
