Local Druggists

[Jim]

Here's another one that I can check off from my wish list []. Very rare Joseph McFadden Pharmacist from Lewistown. I have only seen one other McFadden bottle, and it is smaller, oval-shaped and says DRUGGIST instead of PHARMACIST. This is a 6 1/2" square bottle, an odd shape for local druggists from around here. Fresh dug this morning, and it cleaned up great. ~Jim

Remember these? Thought you guys would like to see this. This is one is a size up from the bigger one in the pic and is also way more common.[]

You definitely have some good ones there, Cap. The guy who has that one on the Bay has been selling some sweet colored druggists in amber, green and cobalt. I wish I had more extra $$ right now, there were several that I would love to have. I have decided on four categories that I want to concentrate on. Local sodas, local meds, colored druggists and poisons. Now comes the hard part...Peeling myself away from my other nice bottles []. Still working on that part, but it will be worth it in the end. ~Jim

I like the Pascoag Pharmacy one! I have two in different sizes, but not in that shape.

Cool, an old thread comes back to life. I dug this beauty last October. ~Jim

Killer embossing!

Oh, no here we go again!

A series of San Francisco druggists previously unlisted -- in my collection, that is.[8D]
Acquired within the past couple years, there's always something out there I haven't seen before.

Another nice find, excavated from the eBay:

This is "unlisted" in Miller's book, although it may not be "unknown", so I hear.[8D]
Damn, picture brings out the fact that I need to clean this up a bit, shee-ooty dirty embossing should be ashamed.

This was thrown in for free last time I bought some bottles from ebay seller "montara" -- it has a crack between the embossing and the neck --
but I didn't otherwise have an example of W.E. Mayhew, more commonly known as part of the partnership Coffin & Mayhew.
