Local Druggists

[Jim]

Nice bottles, Pam. I don't remember ever seeing many Rhode Island druggists. I have thought about trying to put together a 50-state collection of them. A few of the later states like Alaska and Hawaii would be really tough for embossed druggists. Territorial ones would also be a killer. ~Jim

Thanks Jim
Just a lil history. A group of us used to hang out there and get candy as kids. That pharmacy closed a little over 20 yrs ago I believe. I found that bottle around that area with my mom. I could never part with that bottle becuase of that! Here is the site for RI bottles........AB of RI - Medicines P

Great bottles, SS! I love those emeralds and ambers. I have never dug an emerald or amber druggist. Our locals are all clear, but I did dig a teal and two cobalts from Philly. ~Jim

Wow, didn't know so many collected their local druggist bottles.
Back when I was actively collecting people looked at me like I was either crazy or poor when I'd say "I collect local druggists..."

I got inspired by the nice cool temps this AM to dig out another box or two.
