Just curious, because of the small population and lack of variety of our state, what IDAHO pharmacy / pharmacies do you have?

Quite the collection, I wouldn't mind seeing more.
I appreciate your response Bill. I have a few Coeur d' Alene Pharms, 1 duplicate if you are ever interested. I am MORE than willing to help research what is available from IDAHO if you want. I have an older (1996) inventory list of known IDAHO bottles and several contacts. Let me know what you would like to know. The Lewiston OWL is a very desirable Idaho bottle bring pretty high prices when available.ORIGINAL: DruggistBottles
According to my list I have a "THE OWL DRUG STORE / RAY & OSMERS, PROPS / LEWISTON, IDAHO" it has an owl on moon graphic. I am still looking for a colored druggist and a territorial one (assuming either exists). I like to get reference books when they come out for different states to see if I can even find some that match what I am looking for. I believe I have some other Idaho bottles that just have plain text. These I have not inventoried yet.
I use to have a black glass cylinder with the following etched in its side "FORT / SHERMAN / IDAHO-TERR. / 1878 - 95". I figured some soldier made it as a survivor. Unfortunately I sold it at a Federation auction to pay for a laptop back in 2008. The stupid laptop died two week after the 1 year warrantee went out. I wish I had that and the other bottles I sold back.

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.
