I'm especially in need of a Paris 1915 Coke, any Paris soda ACLs and local drugstore/pharm bottles, local advertising, bill or letterhead, letters, family documents, etc.
+ Paris Medicine Company / Grove Laboratories items, especially advertising, Sanare Cutis tin, unopened pill boxes.
+ West Tennessee Wholesale Grocery Company (bottles + anything, I'm trying to research this company)
+ Cupie Beverages Bottle from Union City, Tennessee
+ Bottles from southwestern Kentucky (Hazel, Paducach, Murray, Mayfield, Fulton)
+ Bottles from other west Tennessee towns (Dover, Martin, Jackson, Browsnville, Dyersburg, Union City, Bolivar, Somerville, etc; not so much in Memphis yet)
+ Bottles from Helena, Arkansas (are there any?)

Curtis, What are you needing from Helena, Ark. I usually have some druggist and Hutches and can get them rather easily as it is a place that we dig. Any whiskies are on waiting list for the local collectors. Thanks, Dean

i honestly don't have anything from Helena right now and wouldn't know where to begin. the only reason i'm asking is that my grandparents grew up in West Helena and sometimes talked about having sodas whose names they never could recall. i'd be grateful for anything you'd be willing to offer.

Curtis, Here are 3 of the Helena Hutches and I have a City Bottling Works/ Helena, Ark./ Hutch on the tumbler. These are all in my Arkansas collection, but if you want I can ask my friends about their duplicates. The Policastro is probably the one that your grandparents were talking about. These in nice shape usually run about $50 each. My next picture has some Helena druggist that are all different and are duplicates. Let me know your interests. Thanks, Dean

those hutches are gorgeous. i'd be most interested in the City Bottling Works and Policastros if your acquaintances have any spares but would take anything, really. i feel the need to get a Helena collection started.

if your druggists in the picture are spares, what would you take $$-wise for them?

were there any ACLs from Helena that i can keep an eye open for?

Curtis, I'll ask my friends about their duplicates and get back to you on those. The druggists are down to the 2 pictured here as a friend called and wanted the Davis. There are some crowns from Helena with the best being an amber coke with straight arrows on the sides. These two druggist are $20 each and shipping. Thanks, Dean

my wife just reminded me that we're going on a buying trip later this week. [:mad:]

let me get back to you early next week about those two druggists. if you get an offer for them between now and then, go ahead and take it. if you're digging in that area, i'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities to get some bottles from you.
