I missed most of these, you've made some nice finds! That W.P. Hartley is the best one I've ever seen, it's a common jar but I've never seen one with such a well-defined lighthouse. Usually it's just the vague outline of one. Fun fact about Hartley by the way, the P in his name stood for Pickles.
Great embossing on that bed bug killer as well, never seen that one before.

I love that Bed Bug bottle. Bottles with a ton of embossing have always been a favorite of mine.
And it was face-down when I dug it, so II was expecting a slick—stunned to see so much text.

....different from the bromo-caffeine earlier in the thread.

The branding font seems smaller on this bottle than on other Bromo minis I've dug.
