Golden Gate Bottle show photos

I bought two of those same Davisville druggists from John Alexander down in Watsonville out of his "under the barn" boxes for a couple bucks apiece some years ago. I sold the larger hazy example on ebay for $50+, and kept the smaller mint example for posterity. Always room for one more "out of area" bottle.

I haven't seen John around a bottle show for some time, but did chat with him at the Marin Indian Artifact Show in February. His old "under the barn" boxes gotta be about empty by now.

Thank you Doug. Those barrels are incredible. I really want to collect those but they are beyond my reach right now. Besides the barrels, I also want to collect western bitters, I have several of the more common and less expensive ones but the "good" stuff is beyond my means. Someday...............

Doug,

Those barrels were Ken's bottles for sale. Earlier he had his personal barrel collection displayed in the bottle cabinet he made for sale. Those examples were incredible to see displayed. I didn't think of bringing my camera or I would have taken a picture. Shortly after that display, another collector brought his collection of Drakes Plantation bottles and displayed a color range of those in the cabinet, for awhile, that color run was pretty incredible as well!

Thanks for posting the additional bottle pictures.
