a few more from the last trip

Hey NorCal,

Here's some information on your Maltine: http://bottlesboozeandbackstories.blogspot.com/ Scroll down the page about 3/4 of the way to find Maltine.

I believe Ozomulsion, or at least it's advertising claims were a casualty of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906: htmp://www.bottlebooks.com/questions/July%202001/Ozomulsion%20and%20Psychine.htm I personally love the name of this stuff, conjurs visions of the Yellow Brick Road.

The Holbrook's was a Brittish sauce. Here's a bit from Digger O'Dell : http://www.bottlebooks.com/questions/Oct2001/october_2001_questions_ask_digge.htm It is not quite 1/2 way down the page, just bellow the picture of the Mellin' Food execs. They made, and still make a variety of food and flavoring items. I've got a quart size in my collection

I really want to visit your island someday...

Ozomulsion was advertised as a flesh forming food medicine for thin women, emaciated men, and scrawny children. It was introduced in the 1880's by T.A.Slocum Co., 96-98 Pine St. New York City.

T. A. Donlon also had bottles embossed before taking on Aguirre as a partner. I don't think we'll ever know how many different embossed druggist bottles exist from San Francisco. Then include oval- square- and round- based variants made for each druggist. And include embossing variants for each druggist...

Are you sure don't have close to all of them, jason?
I've never seen or heard of such an amazing collection!

Yeah, y'know I thought maybe I had most or all of those SF pharmacies/druggists...but a year or so ago Ken Werner began selling off his clear glass druggists on ebay. During his auctions I picked up about 15 SF druggists I didn't have including two unlisted* examples: Milton J. Blackman and The Gem Pharmacy. At the April Vallejo show I picked up an unlisted* Michieli's Pharmacy from SF right there on the Sierras Bros. table amongst numerous examples of Day's Pharmacy from San Rafael. All of the above-mentioned bottles (and more SF Bay Area druggists) are pictured in either thread:
