One last picture, this time embossed (in cursive script>Collins Bros.
The style of lip dates this bottle to approximately 1910-1915.

For those of you wondering, "Oakland, where the heck is Oakland?"
It is across the Bay from San Francisco.
Fun to see some of these bottles after so many years being packed away.
These pictures comprise about half of my Oakland druggist/pharmacist bottles.
I haven't displayed any bottles since the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.

Great druggists. That 32oz Federal is a killer. Almost any druggest bottle 16oz or larger is rare. They just didn't survive the dump.

One of two Wellesley Mass bottles that I know of. The other I gave to the pharmacy that was still named years ago.This one I'm still waiting to hear from the historical society about.

Nice druggists, guys. This is turning out to be a pretty cool thread!

Larger size druggists are indeed hard to find. That 32 ouncer is killer! The biggest local rectangular druggist I have ever seen from Lewistown is my 6-ounce Martin's. I've noticed that I usually don't even see the bigger ones broken. They just didn't make as many. Smaller sizes like 1/2, 1 and 2-ouncers make up the biggest part of the population. ~Jim

Here are a few colored ones that I have. B.W. Fetters Druggist Philadelphia in teal, 1860s Lockport (not really a druggist, but it looks good in the color group), George B. Evans Apothecary Philadelphia cobalt w/eyeball, Nelson Fry Philadelphia cobalt w/eyeball and Winger's Alsopure In The Heart Of Cleveland w/ embossed heart in emerald green. ~Jim PS- Sorry for the late pic, my computer was taking a fit last night. I had to get away from it before I picked up a hammer [].
