Need only one embossed dose glass from South Carolina

[DoseGlassCollector]

Hey. I need only one more embossed dose glass to complete a 50 state collection. I've found 49 states and only have South Carolina to go. Frustrating, because I just live next door in Georgia. Please help! Willing to pay big bucks or have many dose glasses to trade (from other states) and some bottles or lots of drug store collectibles to trade.

Thanks,
Tracy

Hi Tracy,

Have you checked this site to see what he has available?

I'm kind of surprised that South Carolina is listed as the rarest of all dose cups to find...

It surprises me too. I can not find a good explanation for it. An 1896 Pharmaceutical ERA map of the number of druggists per state showed the following...
256 in WV
276 in OR
282 in WA
286 in SC
286 in SD
288 in FL

To compare...
50 in NM
52 in AZ

I admit that FL, SD, WA glasses are not that easy to find, but they are out there. South Carolina embossed glasses should be out there too. I think it may have more to do with the enthusiasm of collectors in that state. If they see them, they snap them up which takes them out of circulation. I'd really like to see a few to give me some hope. If anyone wants to show off any that they have in their collection, please post pictures.

Thanks,
Tracy

Several California glasses that I have in reserve as traders, but none from Sacramento
