an incomplete toilet is the last thing I'd want to have

Won this one for the minimum bid. It displays mint, but has a couple chips on the back of the lip. Hadn't seen one of these before...
Taken from an old advertisement in a book of recipes:
"A Toilet Is incomplete without Dr. Merriman's Fragrant Kalliodont."
Embossed:
A.F.MERRIMAN & SON OAKLAND, CAL. KALLIODONT POWDER

Good one Jason!

How much was the minimum bid on it?

The minimum bid was $8.00...I know "chipped lip" makes it worth - um - less, but until I find a "chip-less" example, this will do.[8D]
I recall when I had just one Oakland druggist bottle and no other Oakland bottles. All these years later I'm just as happy to add
a new Oakland bottle - as I am to add a new San Francisco bottle - to my collection.

Hey Jason,

I see you got a Downes & Byrne. I just received mine in the mail from ebay seller Melbrick89(Ken).
I got it for .99 plus the 2.99 shipping.....which was cool since I didn't have one of those either. He has some good stuff for sale a lot of the time.

Cool! I saw that one you won but I've got a similar sized example I bought some years ago.
Ken Werner used to live in California and was collecting druggists/pharmacies back when I first started.
I bought several of his bottles off of ebay about a year/year and a half ago (time flies!) when he decided to
weed out his clear druggist bottles and concentrate on colors. This is one I got from him:
