A pair of Weiss Eagles

[DruggistBottles]

I need to inventory them all. At least 500 I think. Most are clear and have been boxed up. I do have the color, pontil and ones with graphics out though. I had to buy some old druggist cabinets to hold them. My goal will be to whittle them down to the best 100 or so. Then maybe I can afford the next teal Pfunder.

Wow! that's a lot of druggists, is it safe to say that you have one from every state, and then some, including all the territories, territories is where its at I understand.......

It looks like I have about 316 that I am tracking in my inventory right now. These should be all my better ones. I have quite a few plain text embossed druggist to enter still. I have always liked collecting druggist as I could usually dig them, find them in shops or buy from other diggers. I miss the days I could pick them up for only $2! It is getting harder to add to my collection, thus I was glad to get the Weiss eagle. Still I know there are many, many more nice druggist around. I have seen pictures from other collectors that blows what I have away easily.

I have a few territories that are marked as such and others that are based on their age. For example all my Hawaii and Alaska druggists. I also have some just embossed Dakota, and not North or South. One of my favorites is a pontiled Wheeling VA that dates before West Virginia was a state. I also have druggists from 6 countries and one bottle mold slug plate form Buenos Aries with a South American Indian on it.

Oh and yes I have all 50 states covered. That was what drove me to get so many. My current goal for each state is to have one in color, one with a graphic, and the oldest possible for the state (pontil or territory). For Oregon I have a Muegge The Druggist that is counting for color and graphic. If I manage to get a Pfunder I will bump the Muegge. Still I do like sets of druggist in sizes and I have two Muegee. Another reason I like the Weiss eagles.

Cool, if you have the large size Muegge, it is rare!.........

I have an 8" and a 6 1/2" Muegge. I would like to get some other sizes too. The 8" was pictured above. Here is the 6 1/2" (4th from left).

Here are some of the ones I still need to inventory. Most are clear plain text druggists with no graphic.

Bottleworm, as you like Illinois bottles I know you will like these colors even more...

They are all from Illinois. The Halsey is a super dark violet that is it black unless one holds it directly in a light and look at the bottom. Normally I do not keep druggist if they do not have the word "druggist" and their location. However, I know the Broadwells are from Springfield and I have no other druggist the color of the Halsey. Hopefully you can make out all the towns on the others. Shrinking the photos to fit the site makes it hard. Sometime I will do individual ones.
