New additions! Colored druggists and citrates added to the ole collection.

[stephengray]

Hello everybody, been kind of scarce on the forum as I used to work in the oilfield and, like a lot of people, was laid off. So I intentionally put bottles away until a new job came up. I finally got hired on at the post office; anybody here work for them? Is it a good job? I recently completed a bottle deal and almost doubled my colored druggist collection. It was small! So, not that many but 18 of them. Here is a cobalt George Dart from Tuxedo Park, N.Y. that I really like in that it has the patent medicine shape. One from Boston with two types of crosses on it and a Japp's in teal. I have heard these are druggist bottles or maybe a hair bottle.

Some more with a great cobalt citrate from Brooklyn. A fantastic unusual bottle shape drug from LA, the Sun Drug Co. Nice amber one from Massillon. Well, that's it but it was a great addition, expanded my collection a lot.

Those are really nice Stephen, I didn't know you collected COLOR Pharmacy bottles along with the pictured ones. I have very few in the 1/2 ounce size, some brown / amber, 1 green. Thanks for sharing, good luck with your collections and in the new job. The P.O. may not be the best job but it pays pretty well, has good benefits and is steady. Jim

Lots of color there, very nice collection! The post office had a big turnover here, but the new employees seem to be satisfied with their jobs. I understand ,they don't have the great benefits as the older and retired employees. Rick
