Man, I grew up with that book too, I mean, looking at it ALL the time. That page of colored pontilled medicines, wow, how that influenced my collecting. I'm glad I'm not the only "fanatic" out there. Still got mine too, thirty or so years later.

Hello JOETHECROW. I think that is one of my favorite books also and have it listed on my homepage as: #5 THE ANTIQUE BOTTLE COLLECTOR By Grace Kendrick.

It is a good one. RED Matthews

Joe, here is a book I checked out of the school library as a 6th grader and ..well, I am not finished with it yet! I currently owe about $150,000 in late fees...[;)]

Aloha Joe, well I don't believe in coincidence but that is a totally cool event. The odds are very high but definitely in your favor. Your display is a work of art. thanks for sharing.
