You have a lot of really great San Francisco druggists there. Are you digging these? Maybe I should re-phrase that, because "I" am digging those. Are you finding these in the ground?

Here is a ground stopper perfume missing the ground stopper [:mad:] that I bought at the De Anza College flea market when it used to be a darn good place to find bottles for one's collection...embossed: Slaven San Francisco

Easily the plainest most ugliest embossed SF druggist ever; the larger Hunt's used the same small mold leaving the upper part of the bottles blank.

If you know the streets of San Francisco, then you know where this druggist hails from...

A pair of Bennetts from guess where?
I'm pretty sure I got both of these from the same digger at the same long forgotten bottle show in Santa Rosa...

Here is one with a big old chip in the lip, however it is "unlisted" in Miller's book, so I'm looking for an upgrade preferably in amber or cobalt without a lip chip, and maybe 8 or 9 inches in height would be cool, too. [8D] This one's about 2.5 inches "high"...

Here is my previous example of a bottle I got at the Vallejo show, this one's in better condition, kind of minty.

Originally bought three of these from the same digger: one mint, one almost mint (both pictured below) and a chipped-lip "variant".[8D]

Lower right-hand corner chip...[:mad:] Bought this from Ken Salazar back in the day. Only other example I've seen was on ebay and went for an incredibly low bid to a picture druggist collector.
