You can't be too choosy when collecting Arkansas emerald green druggist as this Ft. Smith Caldwell's is the only one. Enjoy,Dean

Hello Everyone,I know that many of you have seen most of my druggist collection, but here are two examples of what I'm trying to accomplish. These are the only two states that I have a complete collection of a colored druggist, picture druggist & a dose glass from each state capitol; Little Rock, Arkansas & Richmond, Virginia. Although I know that some are impossible to get, I would appreciate any help with any that I still need. Thanks in advance, Dean

That is a fun grouping to try to get! Good luck with the dose glasses...I have a number of them from New Hampshire but it took about 10 years for me to find one from Concord and it is still the only one I have seen... I will keep an eye out for one from Austin, Texas for you as well. That shouldn't actually be too hard of a town to get the three from.

Thanks Brandon,You can tell that I need both of those as my collection is weaker on the dose glasses than any of the others. Only have them from 10 state capitols. I have collected 50 state capitol hutches, merchant tokens, & druggists and 50 state bitters in the past. I could only get 46 of the state capitol hutches, but completed the trade token, druggist (except for constant upgrade) and had bitters from 36 different states. Also had one of the first 50 state Hutchinson collections complete. In the early years I had the largest Anchor Hocking Ruby Red collection that I showed at many shows in the South; and have several trophies for them. My only wish was that I had of kept at least a color picture of them, but I do have this b&w taken by a newspaper with an article in 1976. And as you can tell I complete a collection and move on to something else; hence the druggists that can always be updated. Enjoy, Dean

This Springfield picture druggist completes my quest for a picture & colored druggist and a dose glass from this state capital. Enjoy, Dean
