ARe you going to be looking for alternate bottles for some of the manufacturers that you have listed?

Yes

I noticed you listed the stopper on the Ayers as being metal....aren't they glass also?

Yes , they used both glass and metal stoppers

Cool...I did not know about the metal stoppers. Only seen the glass ones.

Matt,
Do you want local pharmacy / druggists in there as well or do you prefer bigger more nationally distributed meds?

 

[GuntherHess]

I cant include late local pharmacy bottles. In the last quarter of the 19th century there was an explosion of these bottles from every little hamlet in the country. I couldnt cover all these even if I worked the rest of my life trying. I do include early druggists , espically pontil marked ones. Its hard to differentiate many of the early druggists from the patent & proprietary med sellers.

I sent you an email, Matt. It's an unlisted variation of the pontiled Van Vleck medicine bottles from Pittsburgh. I will see if I have anything else hanging around that is not listed. Very nice site, by the way. Your efforts are greatly appreciated! ~Jim

Matt I tried to send you an email with a pic of a bottle and it didn't go through. If I post a pic and description on here can you get it? I have a pontiled John M Winslow bottle that I didn't see listed.
