I dug a bottle last autumn:CROWELL'S PHARMACY1901 WASHINGTON AVE. NY It has a long crack in the back, but the embossing is in nice legible condition. I am trying to limit my collection to a particular locale and this does not fit.I can't bear to throw it away because it seems to be hyper-local and possibly a good piece of history to someone into New York local bottles. Let me know it you want it.....I hope someone will appreciate it

some folks don't mind small damage in rear bottles . and this may be the case with this one , but most collectors what exam peals in ferly good condition.

Free bottle but pay light shipping.
If no one else claims it, I'll likely claim it to get a med. of this style. Lets let the New Yorkers have a chance at it.

I'm glad to see one of the younger forum members offer to give the pharmacy bottle a new home. I have several already and really don't have the space, but would have preserved the history. Buster

Well - I hope Spirit Bear ended up with it. Bob - you need to supply me a list of your main interest items. I feel like I need to find homes for some of my glass before I kick the bucket; You are special in my book - so tell me. RED M.

I completely forgot about the bottle-- a lot went on at this time. Is Bob me, Red? I go by only Robert, Yogi, or Spirit Bear. Bob is a nic-name that always bothered me. Ground Sloth, did you find a taker?
