There are several cobalt philly pharmacies that are fairly common but I dont recognize that name as one.
In my mind all cobalt pharmacies are desirable.

Ron has been very helpful to me in the past.
If you look through my medicine book you will find quite a few photos attributed to him.

It's a nice bottle Ken, I found one on Ebay that sold for $4.54 but I doubt it was a cobalt one, hell I'd give you DOUBLE that for it...[]

Sweet find, I love how the embossing is slanted...

Thanks guys! The other digger and I are gifting this to a good friend / digging buddy who specifically collects colored druggist and apothecary bottles. He's going to be thrilled! Decided it's a real nice bot to look at but keeping something for a trade or money isn't always necessary. While I would love to collect color drugs too, I just don't have all the room in the world for it. Giving it to a collector who will appreciate it fully is a better idea. Plus when you have a network of friends who help find things for each others personal collection, the hobby becomes much more fun this way!!

Let this be a lesson to all those greedy kooky diggers out there!
