Hi all. I am new to the forum. I started collecting when I was 12...38 years ago. I did not do much collecting during college, kids, putting hubby through school and almost 20 years following him around the world with the Army. Every move meant 1 or 2 broken bottles so they were packed up and are sitting at my in-laws until we stop moving... I collect veterinary and apothecary bottles when I find them (and can afford them).
Not much time to hit the flea markets here in Germany but we do have one big one nearby the first Saturday of the month. I saw these bottles and could not pass them by...I just hope the packers are careful with them this summer when we head back to the US.
Big demijohns are common here but this is the first one I have found with a pontil. I think it spent most of its life covered in wicker as it is perfect.
The pharmacy bottle is the biggest I have seen so i could not pass it up. It is 18 inches tall. It basically held strong bleach.
