As you all probably remember from our lengthy post this summer,...I found this under a house near where Me, Laur, Mr. Fred and Penn Digger Tom had been searching out a privy. We only know of one other.It's an ultra rare peacock green local druggist. [] Joe

Wow! Great bottles all around...my best this year was a flea market pickup. Skodas / Discovery (on all 4 beveled edges) Concentrated / Extract / Sarsaparilla (in script) / Comp. /Wolfville / Nova Scotia. This is a hard to find varient...more common are the Belfast / Maine type. There's a cool history with this bottle that can be read here:
