I'm just starting to dabble in druggist/apthothecaries... Local ones seem to catching on... I've been trying to snag a few to sell at northeast shows, but one guy in particular keeps outbidding me...

Anyway, here's a VT milkglass I am currently eyeballing...

The Bosso pharmacy bottles date from around the Civil War to about the late 1899 since that is when he died.(read on) These are hard to find without stress cracks because they are very delicate. I just happen to have 2.

Bosso apperantly discovered a cure for yellow fever that really worked during the last yellow fever epidemic in Pensacola during the summer of 1899. He put the cure in a large barrel out in front of his establishment with a dipper in it and let the public put the med in what ever vessel they had for free. Several promenant doctors and pharmacists got together and hired someone to kill him and wreack his pharmacy. The killer was never found which was common in early Pensacola history.[Story per family]
