OK, here's a 'few' cases of my Mobile (Prichard and Spring Hill) bottles. I've concentrated on Mobile bottles for a long time now. Carre and Pallisers were in business from the 1850s1860s to the 1930s1940s so the styles, shapes, and colors of their bottles seem almost endless. If anyone has any Mobile bottles for sale, let me know.

Let's start with a few blobs:

The second one is a Clark and Carre - only one I have like that - Carre only teamed up with Clark in 1874.

A nice New Yorker.. paper label reads 'Palliser Beverage Company, Mobile, AL'...

Now, the 'new' bottles.. all ACLs are marked 'Mobile'... We'll start off with a few variations of Russ - these are fairly early bottles with poor paint so when dug, the labels are almost always gone.. the Barq's and Red Rock are bottled by Russ:

Nice bottle collection. I have a large Mobile amber drugstore bottle here somewhere I dug out of a privy. I was thinking the other day I may put it on the bay since I don't collect Mobile bottles and it's a colored druggist bottle. You may not collect druggist bottles but when I locate it again I will let you know . bob

I had a good collection of the Pallisers from his first bottle to the ACL that were all dug in Pensacola except the ACL which I got at the flea market in Mobile. My favorites were the blob and the wooden stoppered gravitating stopper bottle.

Great stuff Jerry. Do you dig or mostly buy?

John, I posted a group of Kists on here last year. I believe I had 3 or 4 you didn't have.

Bob, yea, I don't really collect druggist bottles. I have a few dozen that I've picked up along the way but don't actively search for them.

Warren, I dug a of these and sometimes buy. I started collecting when I was 12 yrs old so back in my teenage years, I did a lot of digging. My dad worked for the railroad and he would take me to old dump sites around Tibbie and Chatom, back in the woods and we'd just fill up bags of bottles, then come home and pick ticks! haha. I haven't dug in in a while. I miss it. Subdivisions going in everywhere we used to dig.
