I love the local bottles most of them don't fetch a really high price but that don't matter to me. In the long run they must be quite rare since they weren't meant to be sold nationally so there be a lot less of the local embossed pharmacists than say Bromo seltzer or Pisos that were sold nationwide. The local bottles I find and the peoples names on them are almost like celebrities to me, I even went out and found some of the proprietors gravestones and took a picture to display along side the bottle.

I like your way of thinking. We need, as much as possible, to take the monetary factor out of the equaision.
